FRSC Urges Nigerians to Embrace Bicycles for easy movements from one place to another
The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has called on Nigerians to adopt the use of bicycles as a practical and sustainable means of transportation. The appeal, which forms part of the commission’s efforts to reduce road congestion, lower carbon emissions, and promote healthy lifestyles, was made during a recent press briefing.
According to the FRSC, the growing population and increasing number of vehicles on the roads have contributed to significant traffic challenges in urban areas, leading to longer commute times and higher rates of accidents. The use of bicycles, they argued, presents a viable solution for reducing traffic congestion, particularly for short distances. Additionally, the commission highlighted the health benefits of cycling, which include improved cardiovascular fitness and a reduction in lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity and hypertension.
The FRSC also pointed out that cycling is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional modes of transport. With global concerns about climate change and environmental sustainability, the adoption of bicycles would contribute to reducing carbon footprints in Nigeria’s bustling cities. They further emphasized the cost-effectiveness of bicycles, noting that many Nigerians could benefit financially by cutting down on fuel and vehicle maintenance expenses.
However, the FRSC acknowledged that proper infrastructure, such as dedicated cycling lanes and safety awareness campaigns, must be put in place to encourage widespread use. They called on local governments to prioritize the development of such infrastructure, ensuring that cyclists can move safely across towns and cities.
In conclusion, the FRSC encouraged Nigerians to consider bicycles as an alternative mode of transport, not just for leisure but for daily commuting, to promote safer, healthier, and more sustainable cities.
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani declines invitation to judge the Miss World Nigeria Beauty Pageant.
It was reported that the position of a judge was offered to Shehu Sani by Ben Murray Bruce, founder of Silverbird Group. However, Sani rejected the offer to judge the event.
Ben Bruce takes to social media to invite the former senator to be present at the event and sit as a judge.
Shebu Sani then responded by stating “You should have send me a formal letter and with full benefits attached to it after I have passed the Judgment. I appreciate the honour from a good friend. Unfortunately, I’ll be unavailable on that day. I wish you a successful outing.”
Nigerian Comedian, Mr Macaroni expresses dissatisfaction with the Governor of Lagos State over traffic issues.
It can be reported that Lagos has been suffering through a serious traffic phase. The reason behind this was revealed to be the Independence Bridge repairs.
Governor Sanwo Olu then pleaded with Lagosians to bear with the traffic as the repair is necessary. “Let’s think outside the box. If you don’t have business to do in Victoria Island in the next 2 to 3 weeks, conduct your business online and plan ahead.”
However, Mr Macaroni reacts to the Governor’s plea by stating “If the government had any regard whatsoever for the people of Lagos, these measures and more extensive ones would have been taken before yesterday to make this process as painless as possible for the people.”
He lamented on the serious effect that this traffic has taken on people’s day to day life and shared that the government didn’t consider its people.
Michelle Obama recently shared that when she first met Barack Obama, he wasn’t “financially sound.”
The couple crossed paths in 1988 when Barack joined a law firm in Chicago, where Michelle was already working. On a recent podcast episode she hosts with her brother, Craig, Michelle reflected on the importance of financial stability in a relationship.
During a conversation with British author Jay Shetty, Craig asked Michelle, “Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially stable when you meet him?”
Without hesitation, Michelle replied, “Uh, I married one.”
Craig, who seemed to have set her up for that response, laughed and jokingly said, “Don’t you like that alley-oop I just threw you? In basketball, you just point—you don’t even have to say it.”
