The Lagos Government on Wednesday announced an ‘indefinite and total’ ban on the operations of commercial motorcyclists, popularly called Okada riders in six local government areas of the state.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, gave the directive during a meeting with the state’s security agents.Local government areas affected by the ban include Ikeja, Surulere, Eti Osa, Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island and Apapa. However, SaharaReporters observed that the Lagos State Government had several times announced a ban on this means of transportation without success.The government on these occasions attributed the ban on Okada to the increasing rate of criminality which is perpetrated through the use of motorcycles. However, this had been met with stiff resistance by motorcyclists who complain that their source of livelihood would be adversely affected.
No ban Okada ooo
Is this recent ban a reban or banban or banga. Just can't get it. So one help!
Lagos is notorious for always banning okada on paper.
Lagos state government should also ban Danfo.
This is how you know that state police is essential. The terrorist sympathizer IG will stop any attempt to impose rule of law on his terror cells. Perhaps the agberos can be empowered to root out these criminals if they resist.
We have proven time and time again that we are unable to govern ourselves as a people. Finding solution to the issue shouldn't be a rocket science. One thing we have done pretty well is religion. Congratulations.
All barks no lasting enforcement 🤣🤣🤣💔
I wonder what the Govt will be doing differently now
