Amid the chaos of the hike in the prices of fuel, Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has urged Nigerians to normalise taking walks, News About Nigeria reports.
Omokri gave this advice in a statement via his verified handle on X on Friday.
He encouraged Nigerians to cultivate the habit of walking, especially if the distance is less than seven miles, as this will save them money and help improve their health.
He also stated that Nigerians can emulate the Europeans in riding bicycles, stating that it is an option to overcome the current fuel price situation and the fuel hike plaguing the country.
According to him, riding bicycles in European countries is a big culture shock and something Nigerians should cultivate.
Omokri, however, expressed hope that the entrance of Dangote petrol into the market will positively impact the price of fuel.
He wrote, “If you travel abroad, especially to Europe, the U.S., and Canada, one big culture shock you get is the number of bicycles on the road. This is something we must cultivate in Nigeria.
“I am very hopeful that the entrance of Dangote petrol into the market will positively impact the price of fuel. However, getting a bicycle is an option to overcome the current fuel price situation.
“And walking anywhere less than seven miles is not just a money saver, it is good for your health. Whatever the situation, Nigeria will survive and thrive.”
