Mechanics and motorcycle technicians in Lagos are primed to upskill their talents very soon.

This is because Hyde Energy, a leading provider of innovative energy solutions in Nigeria, has partnered with the Nigerian Automobile Technicians Association, NATA, and the Mechanics and Owners Motorcycle Technicians Association, MOMTA, Lagos State Chapter to endorse a mechanic-oriented initiative as part of their #MyMechanicMyHero initiative.
