Embark On 90-day Road Travel Across Nigeria Bamidele Salam Challenge Fashola/Stakeholders

Member Federal House of Reps, representing Ede North/Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency, Bamidele Salam has challenged the Honourable Minister for Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola and other relevant stakeholders to travel by road only for the next 90 days across the federation.
Salam made this challenge while responding to an earlier statement credited to Mr. Fashola, where he was quoted as saying “…the roads are not as bad as they are often portrayed. I know that this is going to be your headline, but the roads are not that bad.”

In his response to the statement credited to the Minister, Salam said “I found this statement, which had been repeated by the Hon Minister at least on two previous occasions as a clear indication that some of us in public offices are not at all in tune with the horrendous realities of our fellow citizens’ daily experience.”
According to him, appreciating what Nigerians go through on our bad roads daily, requires that public office holders put themselves in the shoes of the average Nigerian and get a firsthand experience of how Nigerians survive on a daily basis.
