Federal Govt Commends Simba TVS For ‘Queen Rider’ Women’s Empowerment Initiatives Business
for the success of its Queen Riders program which has contributed to women’s empowerment and gender equity in the country. The statement was made during the 2023 International Women’s Day celebration organized by Access Bank, recently in Lagos.
It would be recalled that the Simba Group initiated its collaboration with the Ministry in 2020, which has since supported and encouraged the company’s efforts to enhance opportunities for underrepresented women to participate in the Nigerian commercial transport industry. It has since received the Ministry’s Product Recognition Award “in recognition of the laudable initiatives to improve the wellbeing and livelihood of Nigerian Women and Vulnerable Groups”.
The Minister praised the company for its efforts in supporting women via the program, noting that they are in line with the government’s vision of empowering women across the country. The Queen Riders Program provides training to women on vehicle riding and repairs, mentorship, and access to financing. The program, which is built on four pillars of Opportunity, Development, Empowerment, and Independence, has successfully enriched the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of women across different parts of the country.
Simba Group Managing Director, Chief Vinay Grover, expressed gratitude for the Minister’s recognition and promised to continue to do more to support women’s empowerment, gender equity, and financial freedom. In a statement released by the company, he said: “We are honored to have received such positive feedback from the Hon. Minister.
