“Government, not only in Nigeria but everywhere is about selfish desires if politicians whose common interest is to achieve their growth in economy and sustenance in power.“66 percent of deaths caused by road crash is huge and we must find a solution to it.“However, for every government official key to him is not road safety but how to get re-elected for the second term.
“Most technology deprived employment opportunities. We have to deal with the fact that as a politician, I need to return back to the people so the more employment I create, the more at chances of returning to power. “Because government officials make decisions on road and safety, one must also, in discovering road technology, take into cognizance those who make the decisions because you cannot flog them into making the decision,” Amaechi stated.
