Like his mentor, Jagaband, who told us that country development is not with high speed.
Can someone tell Fashola that 95% of accidents on Nigerian roads are due to bad roads?

Provide roads, electricity, houses:
Fashola is one man who president Buhari gave the three most important duties to provide roads, electricity, and houses to wide wide Nigeria, he accepted.
Lawyer and Jack of all trades, master of none.

There are 4 major causes of road traffic accidents (crashes):

1) Bad human road behaviour

2) Bad vehicle

3) Bad road

4) Bad weather

Or a combination of any of these.

Bad is the primary cause of major accident on high ways. Others are secondary.

I don't understand where the bashing is coming from, is that you guys lack comprehension or you just purposely want to ignore the emboldened select phrase to justify your criticisms of Fashola! undecided
They are still smarting from their yet another loss at the polls hence the bitterness towards PMB and his ever corrosive cabinet

Bad roads are one of the major causes of accidents on HIGHWAYS, only an insane person will claim otherwise. Driving on most expressways in Nigeria are like driving through a mine field in sambisa forest. You will be dodging potholes left and right.

Bad roads are a major cause of accidents in Nigeria. But a bigger cause is bad and irresponsible driving.

don't know why some people are attacking him.... There's an element of truth in what he said, Although he should have said bad roads are not the cause of "majority" of highway accidents... If u see what Lekki-Epe expressway is used for very early in the morning between 1am and 4am eh, u wont have mind to cross that expressway ever again if ur not strong at heart.

The headline does not represent what Fashola said. The headline should have read "bad road is not the only cause of accident in Nigeria"

I'm not a fan of fashola but I think he is right in some angles..there are still Road accidents in the western world and yet they have far better roads than us, why?? Because of SPEED! Paul Walker and Princess Diana died on bottle smooth roads because of speed...speed kills more than bad roads..

Misquote he said bad roads not only cause of accident in nigeria stop meeting people



Injuries and avoidable accidents that occur on highways are not always due to bad roads as claimed by road users, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said.

you probably didn't read that
Highway is meant to speed at least 70kmperhour so at that speed if u meet a big pot hole, then apply brake suddenly so what happens to the following vehicle that maintains such speed? You can't predict whag happens om the highway so we need good raods. Fashola only justifying inefficiency

Fashola is absolutely spot on. Many times people don't accidents cos of pot holes. They do so because of over speeding& reckless driving. Yes bad roads can damage ur vehicle but at d same time, those potholes make u to slow down which greatly reduces ur chances of having an accident

Majority of accidents are caused by the drivers themselves
Bad tyres

Over speeding
Stubborness
Carelessness
Over taking anyhow


and you have evidence to back up this claim... undecided
the same minister once said the FG should not be blamed for poor power supply; that the distribution companies are responsible; but before election he vowed to turn around the power situation...

You are talking of longevity of the vehicle and the article is talking of accidents.
Actually, good road equals high accident rate. Take china, US as example. Take a look at their record compared to most african countries.
Bad roads on the other hand reduces over speeding, also reduces vehicle lifespan.
How many accident happen on a dilapidated (Enugu-Portharcout road for example) compared to smooth highways like Sagamu-Ore-Benin highway. Common, gotta start using your head and not your heart when thinking.
