By Gracious Akujobi The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Osita Chidoka, has enjoined Nigerians to embrace cycling, saying it as a lot of health benefits.
Mr. Chidoka, who is a member of the newly inaugurated Nigeria Cycling Federation, noted that cycling has numerous good health benefits describing it as safer, better and good means of transportation if adequate attention is given it.
He said “I have made a personal commitment to ensure that we create a safe cycling environment in Nigeria. All over the world the new trend is cycling because it promotes health; it gives you mobility and good choice.
“I am an active cyclist, and cycling is one of those things I have strong passion for and on my wedding day I went to church on a bicycle, I believe very much in cycling as mode of transportation”.
The FRSC boss identifies keeping cyclist safe as the challenge that will be faced, explaining that it was the reason FRSC joined the Nigeria Cycling Federation to bring the level of awareness that would make it possible for cyclists in the country to ride safely on Nigeria roads.
