Bai Yang, an employee of China Civil Engineering Nigeria Co., Ltd., said: "Now I have realized my dream. I hope to do my best to encourage more women and more people to do what I want to do.".

At present, with six years of driving experience, she can not only carry thousands of passengers between the center of Abuja and the Abuja Airport Station, but also train local drivers independently. After work, she will also go to the scene to guide other students to drive trains and help more people with dreams like her to pursue their dreams.

Civil Engineering Corporation of China has always adhered to the localized talent development concept of teaching people to fish rather than to teach people to fish. Through mentoring, skills competition, special training courses and other ways, it has vigorously carried out local talent training for engineering construction, railway operation, industrial park management and other posts, and promoted professional technology practice teaching and operation technology transfer. At present, it has trained a large number of professional and technical personnel in engineering construction, management and operation, project maintenance, etc. for Nigeria. Only one project of Abuja urban rail directly drives more than 20000 local employees during the peak period. Local employees account for 98% of the total number of employees, and local employees account for nearly 20% of the management.

Bai Yang said: I am now working in a Chinese company, and this job has brought me a lot of benefits. I love my work, and I also love my company - Zhongtu; I hope that I can continue to improve my Chinese and have the opportunity to learn to drive high-speed rail in China in the future.Editor/Ma Xue
