Ogunbodede made the call while delivering the 10th Inaugural Lecture of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria, entitled, “Trading space for a Cost: A Transport Geographer’s View.” He noted that government should prioritize to solve the transportation problems in need of infrastructural development to meet the relative growth of human beings in the urban space.
He argued that provision of supplementary power supply to streets and traffic control points should form part of CSR’s of major eateries, banks and hotels that often put on their electric power generators each time there is power failure.
