Bai Yang has made history as Nigeria’s first female train driver, breaking barriers and inspiring women across the country to pursue their dreams. As a bridge between Nigeria and the Chinese mainland, she is fostering cultural exchange and mutual understanding between the two nations.
In an exclusive interview, Bai shared her journey from stepping into the predominantly male construction industry to becoming a symbol of empowerment. “I believe women should step out of their comfort zones and explore new fields,” she said. “There is so much potential waiting to be unlocked.”
Bai’s work goes beyond operating trains; she is a passionate advocate for what she calls ‘She Power’ in Nigeria’s construction industry. Through her efforts, more women are being encouraged to enter sectors traditionally dominated by men, such as engineering and technology.
Her role as a \”people’s ambassador\” is not just a title but a mission. Bai is dedicated to strengthening the ties between Nigeria and the Chinese mainland, promoting collaboration and understanding through her work. “Cultural exchange is vital,” she noted. “When we learn from each other, we grow stronger together.”
Bai Yang’s story is a testament to the impact one individual can have on a community and a nation. Her message to young women is clear: “Don’t be afraid to challenge the norms. Your courage can pave the way for others.”
