\n

Abuja \u2013 Incidence of bribes and delays has significantly increased across African borders, a report on road governance has said.<\/p>\n

The observation is contained in the report of a survey conducted on road governance, jointly published by USAID and West Africa Economic and Monetary Union, UEMOA. The survey was conducted between October and December 2010.<\/p>\n

According to USAID-West Africa Trade Hub and the 14th Improved Road Transport Governance, IRTG, report, given to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Abuja yesterday, truckers ferrying imported or exported goods stop at numerous checkpoints.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis delays their delivery times and the situation is compounded by the bribes they pay. It increases transport costs and eventually amounts to unnecessary increase in prices of goods to customers,\u2019\u2019 it said.<\/p>\n

The report stated that truck drivers reported delays of 25 minutes per 100 km, compared with the situation in 2009, where surveys indicated about 12 minutes of delay for every 100 kilometres travelled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
