Have you ever sat inside a keke napep on a very hot day, wondering“why they didn’t fit these ‘little things’ with an air conditioner for days like this?”
For many Nigerians, commuting with a Keke Napep(tricycle) is about the fastest means of getting from one end of town to another, especially since the ban of everyone’s regular first choice ‘okada’ (commercial motorcycle).
The Keke Napep which was first introduced as part of government’s poverty alleviation scheme in 2002, during ex-president Obasanjo’s regime, has since become a hot topic in Nigeria, as moving about in it, is not only convenient, but also affordable.
However, despite the convenience it portrays, there must have been days when it left you wondering if you shouldn’t have just scraped all your change together and gone for an air conditioned taxi instead.
It is for days like that, that this latest batch of tricycles have been made for. According to reports, manufacturers have decided to make Air Conditioned tricycles, which will help you manage that horrible traffic situation better than when you are sitting down, melting away in the heat.
The Keke also comes with a door (what else will keep the air from the AC trapped inside) instead of the usual one that allows breeze and even rain to hammer you when you are riding in one
