We need to be proactive in Nigeria. In the sense that, how will intending to ban Motorcycle in Nigeria or reviving them to be conscious of traffic order.
ReplyDeleteIt is shame that almost all Nigeria roads are in shambles. What we should be asking ourselves is do we have the money to revitalize or reconstruct our roads. I believe we have the resource to do that, what we have been lacking is the political will; majority of our leaders especially the lawmakers that make policies do not use the roads and as such cannot make estimate of the dilapidated roads in Nigeria. On the issue of motorcycle in Nigeria to be banned raised by my fellow Alfred, i believe that if the Nigeria roads are well constructed there will be minimal automobile accident.
