Post COVID-19 Realities for Nigerian Universities

As countries of the world are struggling to cope with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, new strategies are emerging to ease the reopening of educational institutions.

The federal and state governments in Nigeria have put reasonable measures in place to ease the reopening of higher institutions across the country.

Such measures include the use of nose masks, provision of handwashing facility at notable places on campus, decongestion and decontamination of lecture halls, and equipping an on-campus isolation centre.

As noble as the efforts are, there is a crucial aspect the government seems to be neglecting in their measures — transportation systems.

Hopefully, the leadership of various universities will take proactive measures to prevent the further spread of the pandemic through efficient and safe campus transportation systems.

Before the occurrence of the global pandemic, most campuses employ the use of buses, cabs, tricycles, and motorcycles for transportation around the campus. These means of transportation are usually jam-packed with enthusiastic members of the university community going about their daily activities.

But the reality of COVID-19 has shown that we must avoid overcrowded spaces. This does not exclude buses and other transportation mediums that are popular on the campuses.

Looking forward into what the future holds, an innovative transportation giant — TREKK Scooters — has emerged at this time of crisis with a viable solution to alleviate the problems posed by the transportation systems on campuses.

If universities are going to cope with the post COVID-19 realities, then there is a need to overhaul the transportation system that supports overcrowding and bodily contact on respective campuses.

Scooters are not just a mere alternatives but better alternatives. With your safety helmets, you can be sure that the only transportation system that supports your safety is scooters.
