According to the Guardian Sunday, August 9 2009, the representative of Mushin constituency I in the Lagos state House of Assembly, Mr. Kako Are has provided the children in Mushin with free transportation to school. The representative has purchased trucks to convey children to school every morning, free of charge. However, from the pictures in the Guardian the truck is obviously filled to capacity with young children, the truck is said to take up to 300 children per trip. Healthy? Not too sure, but it certainly seems to do the job of getting the kids to school on time, reducing the financial burden on parents who can barely afford to pay the transport fares of their children and ensuring that a higher number of children are able to go to school. The effort of this representative is fair and should be supported by other members of the community so that the ride is made more comfortable. This new practice of conveying children to school free of charge should be replicated by all other constituencies.
Improving the livelihood of the people in a community is the responsibility of the local government, representatives at the state house of assembly and also the people themselves who should make demands from their representatives and come up with strategies to secure a better life.
