The contradictions of Abuja II

1 Mins read

Its interesting driving around Abuja….our beloved capital city. You see refuse disposal trucks with smartly dressed young men emptying the bins….impressive.


Then you drive around in Fashola’s Lagos…and you see the street sweepers…making sure no piece of rubbish is left on any road. Nothing…as this lady on the middle of Third Mainland Bridge…yes really!


What you will not see are these scenes in Onitsha, Aba, Kano, etc….the other face of our country. In states without the attention Abuja gets and without inspirational leaders as Fashola.

But maybe …just maybe….as Lagos was turned around…maybe one day Aba will …and Onitsha will see the opportunities at their doorsteps and become the model clean cities they can so easily become.
