NIGERIA?S bicycling transport minister, Ojo Madueke, was run off the road on Wednesday by a speeding bus that crashed into an oncoming car. Madueke, who started last week cycling to weekly cabinet ministers, told reporters at the presidency he had set out for the meeting early Wednesday when the near tragedy occurred. “There was a bus that was coming at top speed, overtaking the other vehicles on the road. It had a head-on collision with a car. I was lucky I pushed my bicycle off the road. It missed me by a hair’s breadth,” he said. – AFP
