Lagos Highest means of Transportation

abuja

Lagos and Abuja Both have Buses as the Highest means of transport
While Uber/Bolt services are the least means of transport for Lagos and Motorcycle is the least means of transport for Abuja.

What means of Transportation cost more?

both

From the analyses; Buses are Expensive for daily travel because corps members tend to use 2 to 4 different buses to get to their place of primary assignment (PPA). From the table, we see that the highest amount spent on transport in a day is ₦2000 and the lowest of ₦500

Is the Monthly paid allowance enough for corps members?

pie chart

4.27% are satisfied with the Monthly Paid allowance, although it is relatively smaller than the number of people who are not comfortable with the amount, which is 27.35% the larger percentage(60.68%) of corps members say it is not enough.

Do corps member's who work more days get paid more?

bar

Some corps members are required to work more days which in turn involves more money for transportation. from the bar chart, we see that corps members get paid less than ₦30000 to work extra days including on the weekends.

Between both cities which has the highest cost of transportation?

MAP

From the demography, we see that the Cost of transportation in Lagos is greater than in Abuja

CONCLUSIONS

  1. The cost of transportation does affect the Corp member's salary/allowance Mildly
  2. Corp members Who work extra days should be paid more to cover the cost of transportation.
  3. Corp members who don't get paid at all could work remotely or work fewer days to save cost.
