What are the chances of meeting a female truck driver in Nigeria? Not just that, she is unable to drive a car.
That’s the story of Ademola Omolade, a 22-year-old truck driver from Ogbomosho, Oyo State.
In an interview with Punch, Omolade revealed that she cannot drive a car despite driving trucks.
Stating how she began to drive trucks, the young lady noted that her parents started pestering her to learn a trade after her secondary school education.
According to her, they wanted her to learn tailoring or hairdressing, but she had no interest in any of those.
At the time, she was living with her aunt in Lagos State, whose husband was a truck driver. She disclosed that when her uncle was given two trucks to manage, he asked her if she could be managing the trucks for him and she agreed.
During her course of managing the trucks for her uncle, she developed an interest in driving trucks and that was how she started her journey to becoming a truck driver.
