MTN and CleanAce Train 30 Hearing-Impaired Nigerians
On June 23, 2026, in Lagos, MTN Foundation and CleanAce Foundation announced a groundbreaking program designed to train 30 hearing-impaired Nigerians in dry cleaning, addressing the skills shortage in Nigeria's fabric care industry. The six-month training course consists of three months of intensive classroom instruction followed by a two-month paid internship with leading dry cleaning firms.
Graduates will receive government-recognized certificates from the Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA) and the Lagos State Technical Vocational Education Board, equivalent to a semi-diploma, enhancing their employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. Eniibukun Adebayo, founder of CleanAce Group, emphasized the rapid mastery of fabric care skills by hearing-impaired employees and the need for inclusivity in the workforce.
Edward Fagbohun, senior manager at MTN Foundation, reiterated the organization's commitment to equity and support for persons with disabilities, aiming to empower them as self-reliant contributors to society.
