He said” this year based on so many considerations, united nations picked 30km/hr for urban areas like Port Harcourt. So if we don’t educate motorists, if you allow people to drive at the speed they want, then there’s a probability that passersby may be hit by the drivers”.
“That is why it is very important to especially in the Port Harcourt city that the populace knows the importance of driving at a maximum of 30km/hrs”.
