Abstract

This research focuses on capacity building skills for tricyclists, especially the commercial ones in Nigeria. The impetus for this quest is derived from the researcher’s desire to equip tricyclists for life sustainability, economic development, Contract sincerity as well as spiritual growth through successful business operation due to positive behaviors, spiritual stability and sufficient skills advancement. By the opinion of the researcher, this capacity building empowerment can instigates as well as promotes careful, prudent, rational and conscious decision making while operating their transportation business thereby enhancing safety of life, productive development and positive fulfillment through maximum profitability. For the goal of actualization in commercial tricycle business to be achieved, the researcher decides to contribute by providing proficiency empowerment skills for positive success on what can be seen as a ‘ must know and have’ foundation stone when it comes to tricycle business. Some assumed empowerment skills and objectives have been outlined and discussed. The paper concluded that, empowerment skills were necessary for catalyzing tricylcing business in Nigeria. Though it takes not less than two to tangle in the case of human beings, where there are more than one humane, one can be in a state or stage of confusion and dilemma to the extent of experiencing conflict, depression, terminal sicknesses that can take such a person’s life through either normal death or suicidal death. These types of conditions/ situations can be motivated or encourage by the harsh/turbulent society full of unemployment and poverty. Little wonder Longbap 2019 postulated that, for development enhancement and personality problems minimization, humans at individual and group levels need empowerment skills through counselling. This postulation becomes imperative because since counselling is a help rendering session, she can then be used as a catalyst to facilitate, assist, train in a way or means of supporting human beings to positively achieve his/her goals and responsibilities through attaining better human performances and behaviours in all endeavors of human relationships, commercial motortricycling inclusive.
