YEA to launch electric taxi programme for okada riders

An innovative Electric Taxi Programme is set to be introduced by the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) to offer an alternative livelihood for interested Okada riders and other youth in the country.

This development is intended to convert motorcycles to electric taxis that are environmentally friendly, offering a more secure and sustainable way to make a living.

Through this programme, YEA aims to empower young people by offering them the opportunity to participate in the burgeoning electric vehicle sector, contributing to the country’s green energy goals while creating jobs.

The electric taxis will be offered to those interested, especially Okada riders who seek a safer and more reliable source of income.

This initiative aims to improve road safety and lessen the environmental footprint of transportation by encouraging the adoption of clean energy vehicles.

Through this program, YEA continues to uphold its mission of generating job opportunities for young people, driving economic progress, and promoting sustainable development.

Information on how to apply for the Electric Taxi Programme, including eligibility criteria, will be released soon. YEA urges all qualified youth to take advantage of this chance to enhance their livelihoods.
