The
National Council on Transportation (NCT) policy in a resolution
yesterday in Sokoto state, recommended bicycle riding for solving the
mystery of traffic jam in the country.
The
Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, disclosed this at the end
of the 15th meeting of National Council on Transportation. We decided
that we do it in Abuja because if you check, nearly all the roads in
Abuja have lanes for bicycle.”
You may ask why bicycle but don’t forget that it is there in China, in UK, Spain and many other countries.
The
benefit is that it is an investment first and secondly it will help in
the exercise and thirdly it will reduce the number of passengers
jostling for motor vehicles.
