1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The spread of covid-19 has the ability to
wipe-off a nation. A concrete restriction or prevention measures is the
major way through which the spread can be controlled.
From the very
first outbreak of this virus in Nigeria, the Government necessitated
prevention majors in every sectors of the economy including the
transportation sectors. The various safety measures put in place to
avoid the wide spread of this pandemic includes; constant washing of
hands, wearing of face mask, maintenance of social distancing, use of
hand sanitizers, etc. However the transport sector has experienced more
restrictions which practically affected its operations. This restriction
prevented them from carrying the usual number of passengers in their
vehicles. It must be noted that law avoidance is almost the case of the
day in Nigeria and Government orders are not strictly adhered to as
there is no constant and strict supervision which is as a result of
ineffectiveness and inefficiency of Government agencies. Thus this study
is in quest to discover the extent to which transport companies comply
with the covid 19 safety orders, prevention or restrictions.
