# Delta State Launches EV Skill Workshops

The Delta State Government in Nigeria is launching free Skill Acquisition and Empowerment Workshops in early October 2026 in Asaba and Warri, focusing on electric vehicle (EV) technology and sustainable transportation. This initiative, in partnership with EV Automobiles Limited, aims to develop local technical expertise among youths, artisans, and automobile technicians to support the emerging clean-energy automotive sector. Procurement professionals and contractors should note this government-led workforce development effort as it signals growing demand for EV-related services, training programs, and potential future procurement opportunities in sustainable transportation infrastructure.

- The workshops are hosted by the Delta State Directorate of Transport and supported by the Commissioners for Transport and Science and Technology, highlighting cross-sector government engagement.
- This initiative indicates a strategic focus on clean energy and EV technology within Delta State, creating opportunities for suppliers of EV components, training providers, and technical service contractors.
- Companies involved in automotive technology and workforce development should consider engagement opportunities with the Delta State Government and EV Automobiles Limited to support local capacity building.
