The idea of having a nimble and responsive policing outfit gets 'punctured' by a nearly non-existent maintenance ethic. This 'smart car' donated by the Government of Anambra State a little less than 4 years ago has gone the way of all others before it. We know similar fate awaits recently donated ones if nothing is done.
The State Government may wish to consider providing designated service centres for the donated vehicles, and underwriting the service costs, so citizens can get to derive maximum utility from the millions of Naira we periodically sink into providing "logistics support" to Federal Agencies.
By the way, this should not be an avenue for some people to dip their hands into the till. For instance, we know how much dem dey charge to pump tire oo? And questions should be asked when the same tire needs to be pumped almost every day oo.
In the meantime, this smart car stationed under the pedestrian bridge at UNIZIK Junction, Awka needs to be revitalised, lest it decays the more.
