The project, ‘Safer Roads for Pedestrians and Cyclist in Nigeria’, therefore is an added effort to create platforms for entrenchment of cycling and walking in our cities,” the permanent secretary, who was represented by a deputy director, Mrs Cynthia Bidemi, stated.
Also, the chief executive officer, Ochenuell Mobility and Project Manager, Engr. Emmanuel John urged the government to consider other road users while planning for raid construction.

“Over the years in Nigeria, walking and cycling has been see as mobility for rural areas, a mode for the poor. This may have been responsible for why there is lack of political will, funding and investments to make cycling a mobility choice in Nigerian cities, consequent upon the lack of attention, walking and cycling are perceived as unsafe and therefore not predominantly in use. On the contrary, walking and cycling has been identified as reliable alternative, noiseless, environmentally suitable, health improving, affordable and socially inclusive mode of transport fit for all societies.

“Also, there is the need to protect the environment, maintain public health and contribute to national development in a sustainable manner,’’ he said.
