Lincoln Bamfo, a Ghanaian resident in the United Kingdom, recently revealed in an interview that he earns an impressive annual income of above £45,000 (which converts to about N25.7 million) as a bus driver. Bamfo, who is a graduate of Accra Polytechnic and Accra Technical University (ATU), was raised in Belgium before moving to London as an adult. He attributed his success to the UK system that values the contributions of workers and allows him to pay for his education.
Bamfo highlighted that the training provided to Ghanaian drivers after obtaining their license is inadequate, unlike in the UK where he undergoes refresher courses or a week of training every five years. This demonstrates the UK's commitment to ensuring that their drivers are properly trained, competent, and safe.
Bamfo's success as a bus driver in the UK serves as an inspiration to others and shows that with dedication, hard work, and access to opportunities, anyone can achieve success regardless of their background. His story also sheds light on the importance of proper training and development for drivers, which ultimately contributes to the safety and well-being of all road users.
