Who Can Apply for Delta’s Free EV Skills Training?
The programme was designed primarily for young people seeking practical technical skills, automobile mechanics, members of the Nigeria Automobile Technicians Association (NATA), artisans and other interested residents looking to develop expertise in electric mobility.
The initiative aims to help participants understand the changing automotive industry as electric vehicles and sustainable transportation technologies create new technical and career opportunities.
Although the programme particularly targets youths and existing automotive workers, the published information did not specify a minimum or maximum age, formal educational qualifications or other detailed admission requirements.
Interested residents should therefore confirm any additional eligibility conditions with the organisers when a new training date is announced.
Dates and Venues for the Asaba and Warri Workshops
The government’s free EV skills workshop was announced for two locations in Delta State:
- Asaba session: October 2–3, 2026, Press Center, Government House, Infant Jesus Road, Asaba.
- Warri session: October 6–7, 2026, Unity Hall, Government House Annex, Edjeba, Warri.
Registration was scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. at the venues each day, according to reports announcing the programme. Both sessions have now passed.
How to Apply for the Free Electric Vehicle Training
When the programme was announced, online registration and physical registration at the venues were provided as application options.
The published online registration links were:
However, the announced workshop dates are over, and the EV Automobile Academy’s programme listing should be checked for updated schedules before attempting to apply. The links above relate to the original sessions and should not be taken as confirmation that applications remain open.
Applicants should avoid paying unofficial agents for access to a programme advertised as free and should rely on announcements from the Delta State Directorate of Transport or EV Automobiles Limited for information about future sessions.
Skills Training Focuses on Electric Vehicle Maintenance and Diagnostics
The workshop was designed to provide hands-on exposure to electric vehicle maintenance, diagnostic operations and career opportunities in sustainable transportation.
The skills could be useful to traditional mechanics seeking to broaden their technical knowledge as vehicle technology evolves, as well as young people exploring careers in automotive servicing and related technical fields.
Electric vehicles have different maintenance and diagnostic requirements from conventional petrol- and diesel-powered vehicles. Practical training can help technicians understand those differences and prepare for changes in the automotive services market.
The initiative also reflects the state government’s effort to expand skills development and prepare residents for emerging industries.

Delta Government Expands Youth Empowerment Opportunities
The partnership between the Delta State Government and EV Automobiles Limited forms part of efforts to equip residents with practical skills relevant to changing transportation technologies.
For young people, mechanics and artisans, access to technical training can provide an entry point into specialised work and potential self-employment.
However, the long-term impact of the initiative will depend on the availability of further training, access to equipment, opportunities to practise the skills acquired and links to employment or business development.
Residents interested in participating in future editions should monitor official announcements for confirmed dates, eligibility requirements and updated registration instructions.
