I don't think taxi schemes are part of mass transit and they are better run if given to private investors. The government only need to regulate the industry and put needed infrastructures in place to aid the industry.

They can always make their money through licenses, tax or do these cooperative societies lack the financial power to move into the transport sector. We have so many private transport company in Nigeria so i do not know the reason states do not make use of them instead of going it alone.

X-factoria:


How about 1,000 okadas x 2 = 2,000 x several times everyday? Is that also mass transit

Can you see how warped your logic is? Half-educated mofo!


Very good response.
As someone pointed out Akala of PDP Oyo state launched the same taxis years ago.
Meanwhile primary, vocational and secondary education that is the foundation of any sustainable development is not given deserved attention and focus compared to these s'agbe loju yoyo (shine, shine fancy) unsustainable projects.

So Amosun and Akala are in the same class of clueless administrators except that the former has some slick propaganda vendors armed with cameras etc.

[b]Government Taxi Schemes arounr this country has generally been a failure..

Rivers State for example: Odili launched peugeots as Taxis, Today, not even 1 can be found on the road.

Amaechi comes in and launches Kias and Tata busses (in partnership with Skye Bank) Today, none of those vehicles even have up to 30% resale value.

Cross Rivers State is the same thing. Liyel Launched Suzukis as Taxis upon the removal of Okadas from the road. BArely 2 weeks after the launching, over 10 of the vehicles had been totalled.

Akwa Ibom State is the same News. Although with theirs, it was Akwa Ibomites that set fire to over 200 Brand new Kias during a riot.

I'm sure others can give similar examples from their states. Only Lagos seems to have gotten the fomular right, which is to give the cars to a Company to manage for them. Also giving the drivers some sort of Liaility for the cars and providing fleet insurance for all the cars, rather then just outrightly handing over the cars to individuals.


I really hope this scheme works sha, because so far, its failed in so many other states..[/b]

I hope South-west doesn't leave South-west behind. The whole SW/SE should devolop together in my view.

This is nothing new in south south, Uguaghan of Delta State bought taxis and buses plying within cities and intercities, Alamieyesegha/Goodluck also did same in Bayelsa, Timipre Sylva did same (Bayelsa Stimulus Scheme-BSS), Dickson of Bayelsa also. Akpabio also did same in Akwa Ibom, Odili did same and Amaeachi also did same. If this is a measure of progress. How will you grade the mentioned governors?

On this same NL forum Anambra state's Peter Obi of APGA:


In less than three years in office, the governor said he has been able to save N350 million through this process, proceeds of which, he said, are pumped into the acquisition of 50 taxi cabs and 50 buses donated to the people of the state to alleviate transportation problem.

As good as this sound. It is not sustainable.

That is the biggest drawback.

Delta State: Uduaghan commended for efforts to improve transportation system

Hon. Igbakpa said that in pursuance of the State Government’s policy for the provision of cheap and affordable transportation for Deltans, government in 2008 launched the State Urban Taxi scheme with 170 Taxis and 100 Toyota hiace buses.

The Transport Commissioner disclosed that between 2009 and 2013, the State Government purchased an additional 605 units of 18 seater Toyota Hiace buses for the State Urban transportation programme, adding that 40 units of the buses were allocated to the school shuttle Bus Scheme to ease the transportation problems currently experienced by primary and secondary school children.

Hon. Igbakpa said the remaining 665 units were distributed to Delta Line Transport Services, Agofure Motors Limited, National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), labour and other beneficiaries.

I guess achievement means different thing to different people. I personally will not rate procuring taxis as a sign of performance because even the most clueless governors have launched taxi schemes at one point or the other. The only way we can rate these governors will depend greatly on how they manage these taxis. LIke someone pointed out, i think Fashola has done well in that regard.

Alamieyesegha/Goodluck also did same in Bayelsa, Timipre Sylva did same (Bayelsa Stimulus Scheme-BSS), Dickson of Bayelsa also.

Again right here on NL less than a year ago:

Nigeria’s Bayelsa state government has injected 300 ‘ restoration city cabs’ to replace motor cycles as a means of transportation in the capital of Yenagoa.

Gov. Seriake Dickson who unveiled the taxis, 100 of which are tricycles, at the official commissioning said, “What you are seeing here today, as good as it is, is just the beginning. We want a transportation system that is second to none. Our aspiration is to turn the state into another London that will be haven to tourists and investors from all over the world.’’

The governor said that when he announced the ban on commercial motorcycle transport, popularly known as ‘Okada’, many of his critics said that the previous administration did same and did not solve the transport problem in the state.

Are you clinically insane? Is this not part of a BRT (bus rapid transport) scheme which is in turn a part of an impressive transport agenda taking in a comprehensive light rail scheme to provide adequate transport throughout Ogun State? How many performing governors have such a comprehensive transport agenda let alone "clueless ones"? M0r0n. Mumu just rushes in to play opposition politics while his brain has been left in the village he last visited to dispense herbal medicine. I even highlighted, with bold print, what is written below at the beginning of the thread. I guess there is no way to mitigate for grade A olodo like you.

He said the inauguration of the air conditioned Nissan Saloon cars would mark the second phase of the mass transit scheme of the present administration in the state.
