The Director, of Road Transport and Mass Transit Administration, Musa Ibrahim, who stated this at the one-day stakeholders sensitization meeting held in Abuja, said the idea is to enhance and heighten the importance of cycling in Nigeria as it will lead to a drop in road crash incidences.
Ibrahim noted that the stakeholder’s sensitization meeting is in consigned Bicycle Day which is marked annually on June 3 through a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution.
According to the Director, World Bicycle Day recognizes “The uniqueness, longevity, and versatility of the bicycle as a simple, affordable, reliable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transport, fostering environmental stewardship and health” Hence the United Nations 2023 World Bicycle Day theme: ‘Riding Together for a Sustainable Future’.
