The programme, which was put together by GreenLight Initiative in collaboration with Iwuanyanwu National Ambulance Foundation and the Anambra State Ministry of Health, drew participants from the Federal Road Safety Commission, government establishments and the private sector.

In a little over two years, the curtain will close on the Buhari presidency. Of the time left, the final one year will be spent in the drama of political succession. In the festival tradition of our politics, little or no governance takes place in the year preceding the exit of the incumbent. It is a year for the pageant of promises, the displays of thuggish mobs, the frenzied clash of monumental ambitions and the stoking of hopes. Technically, therefore, Mr. Buhari is now left with a little over one year to fulfill all the promises he made us on the eve of his ascendancy in 2015.
