There is nothing like moving forward in this country, go and mark my words, this country will never ever progress, it's not structured to succeed, look at the rogues at NSA, look at the executive, look at the judiciary, look at the state assembly, look at the local government and their councilors,

See the kinds of people Nigerians have as leaders? A useless initiative also promoted by the late Ojo Maduekwe who almost lost his life while riding same bicycle.These useless government officials that drive around town in convoys at neck-breaking speed are here again to insult the down-trodden masses.

Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, says the Federal government is planning to reintroduce Bicycle riding in the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja.

The Minister disclosed this when he spoke at the end of the 15th meeting of National Council on Transportation with the theme: ‘Efficiency of Inter-modality in Transportation: Panacea for Economic Recovery.” in Sokoto state yesterday Monday, September 4th.

"The National Council on Transportation is a policy making Council and we have approved that we should do a pilot project on bicycle riding in FCT because it is the only city that has facility for bicycle riding. We decided that we do it in Abuja because if you check, nearly all the roads in Abuja have lanes for bicycle. It is there in China and UK. It is an investment that would help reduce the number of passengers that are looking for modern form of transportation within the cities. Other states that want to do it must provide facility before they can proceed because we want to separate cyclists from the roads and some motorists can be very impatient with them. So states that want to go ahead can do that. But they must provide lanes for bicycle so that we don’t have numerous accidents.” he said

Former Minister of Transport, late Ojo Maduekwe came into office in 2001 and introduced bicycle riding in Abuja when he was canvassing for Nigerians to explore other means of transportation order than just cars and buses.

There is nothing bad in introducing bicycle!

So far there is a lane set aside for it.

Chai!!!! Misplaced priorities. The people will ride bicycles when roads are comstructued making provisions for bicycle lane and when the road are safer!!!!

Freeman50:
Did you hear yourself well?
Providing bicycles is not the countries priority for now. In other countries, purchasing bicycles could be done by individuals I.e for pleasure.

Just because the infrastructure are constructed by the government doesn't mean that they will be the one to provide or purchase the bicycles for the individuals.

Why providing bicycles only in Abuja?

Other means of transportation indeed.....

Soon they will start imposing duties on them (Avenue of making money).





.... We are fond of mimickin' what others are doing.

Bubu fit ride bicycle around Abuja ni?

Bicycle is not for the poor. It's unfortunate we look down on bicycle riders in Nigeria some bikes are more expensive than cars. I have a 50k bicycle.
