I have seen many accidents caused by these speed breakers. I think a better name for them is “Car Wreckers”. The effect of these include the fact that traffic in Abuja has become heavier, mechanics are of course having a field day and I’m sure the contractor can’t wait to be called upon to convert the breakers to bumps.

Abeg, Oga Minister, help the masses, save us mechanic fees and employ Julius Berger to transform the breakers to smoother, more effective bumps. That way, speed would be broken but cars and human bodies won’t be.

While anticipating your magnanimity in addressing the issue, we would also appreciate your timely intervention as we the residents of Abuja have enough to cope with in respect of paying outrageous rents and fares – we really do not need the extra expense of car maintenance every other week.
