As I made my way to work today in the Rivers State covid 19 Free bus, I saw reasons to applaud the Rivers government for being alive to their responsibility of safeguarding the state and bringing the dividend of democracy to her dwellers.
I remember listening to Dr. Ikenna Benjamin, over the radio years ago, when he defined Good Governance as "the ability to take decisions that is beneficial to majority, if possible, all of the citizen" he further said that the ability of a government to come up with cohesive policies that can solve and meet needs of its populist can be termed as good governance.
The free bus doesn't only provide free transportation around portharcourt, but also, act as a means of identifying possible corona virus patents.
Before someone makes his/her way into the bus, he has to be properly protected with nose mask , while santizers is offered to him by the bus security.His body temperature will also be read with help of the "gun thermometer".
Rumor has it that anyone with high temperature is taken to the testing centre for further examination.
I will encourage others governors to adopt this approach.
