A major push to empower women in Nigeria’s transport sector is underway, with CreditCorp confirming the upcoming launch of its “10,000 Women in Mobility” initiative. The official event is scheduled for December 12, 2025, at Eagle Square in Abuja. The programme is specifically designed to support women whose livelihoods are dependent on mobility-based work by significantly improving their access to sustainable finance and essential assets.
The initiative is a crucial step towards building a more inclusive mobility sector. It focuses squarely on female entrepreneurs operating within the transport and logistics value chain, including those who rely on motorcycles, tricycles, vehicles, and logistics services to sustain their families and grow their enterprises.
Empowering the Informal Transport Economy
CreditCorp is delivering the initiative in collaboration with key mobility and financial service partners, aiming to strengthen Nigeria’s transport economy. By helping these women access structured and affordable credit and mobility assets, the programme is expected to ease the severe financial pressure they often face while simultaneously improving productivity, business stability, and sector-wide competitiveness.
Key Goals of the Initiative:
-
Financial Tools & Assets: Providing women with the necessary financial resources and physical assets (e.g., vehicles, tricycles) to expand and stabilize their small businesses.
-
Productivity Improvement: Enhancing the long-term economic prospects and stability of women-led transport businesses.
-
Economic Participation: Catalyzing broader economic participation by helping women scale their operations and contribute more actively to national transport-driven value chains.
The launch aligns directly with broader national efforts to expand consumer credit, strengthen micro and small enterprises, and formally support women-led businesses, which constitute a significant part of Nigeria’s informal economy. Through this strategic intervention, CreditCorp aims to provide the robust financial and operational support systems necessary to improve the earnings of these essential workers.
