This governor has more senses than President Muhammadu Buhari and all his cabinets put together. Irrespective of the fact that these Nigerian leaders go to other countries and see how the roads are systematically tailored, most of these leaders have no common sense to do the right thing for their own people. This governor has taken a very bold step and he should be commended for it. Road users need to read sets of road instructions before you should drive on the road, as a gun is a weapon so is a car. It's only in the forest that animals go about without any system or formation, Nigeria needs road instructions and issue those who complete the written and road test a driver license, that will ensure that most if not all have read the road rules and instructions before driving their car on our roads, these steps will ensure the security of lives and properties.  This governor deserves commendation.
