Automotive consultant and fleet management expert Tunde Fadipe has officially unveiled the Vehicle Management Academy, VMA, a training platform designed to raise professional standards in Nigeria’s transport and logistics sector.
The Academy is an initiative of Tice Tropics Nig Ltd, the company Fadipe founded to provide fleet management, driver training, vehicle maintenance, and road safety consulting services. Through VMA, Tice Tropics is expanding its work from direct fleet services into structured education and certification for drivers, fleet managers, mechanics, and transport operators.
Speaking at the launch, Fadipe said the Academy was created to address the skill gaps contributing to high accident rates, poor vehicle maintenance culture, and inefficient fleet operations across the country. VMA’s curriculum will focus on practical, competency-based training in areas like defensive driving, fuel and maintenance management, emissions control, fleet policy development, and regulatory compliance.
“Vehicles are assets, but without proper management they become liabilities,” Fadipe stated. “VMA is our contribution to building a new generation of professionals who understand that road safety and operational efficiency start with knowledge and discipline.”
Tice Tropics Nig Ltd has worked with corporate fleets, schools, and transport companies on driver behavior management, route optimization, and maintenance scheduling. With VMA, the company aims to institutionalize that expertise through workshops, certification programs, and continuous learning modules tailored for Nigeria’s operating environment.
The launch of Vehicle Management Academy adds to ongoing efforts by private operators to support the Federal Road Safety Corps and other agencies in reducing road crashes and improving transport standards.
