The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said
that injuries and avoidable accidents that occur on highways are not
always due to bad roads as claimed by many Nigerian road users.
The Minister stated this when he spoke at a capacity building
workshop on the activation of the five United Nations’ Convention on
Road Traffic acceded to by Nigeria in Abuja yesterday March 20th.
According to the Minister, over speeding and reckless driving are the
main causes of accidents on Nigerian roads.
In a statement issued by the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and
Housing on Wednesday, the minister noted that injuries and avoidable
accidents that occurred daily on highways were regrettable.
The statement said Fashola told participants at the workshop that
there was no state in Nigeria that the Federal Government was not
executing one road project or the other.
