“We envisage deploying over 500 of these buses to alleviate the pain associated with the restriction of motorcycle and tricycle operations.

Banning of bike iz good, buh affects a whole lot of people because of terrible roads, 'do road, do road, dey said SAM, dat we are talking yanyanpu' if roads are good, it won't take anything to ban bike. buh FG like 'moonwalking' na, (walking backwards)🤦‍♀️

In Apapa?

Pointing Governor.

This man can point ehn

Pointius pilate

Hope you have plans for those okada and keke riders ?.

Thank you, Jesus.

I really don't know if this people think at all. You want to take them off the street without putting the roads in place...hmm

I think sanwo olu don’t see the damage he is creating just yet!!! Are these buses going to be given to these people for free? And he is forcefully taking their means of making money in this extreme hard times!

I have several Questions for you jidesanwoolu , aside the fact that the taskforce are taking people's bike unjustly, did you dialogue with them FIRST by taking the bikes off the streets & employ them as drivers of the new buses? If No then you've left them with no choice than

Mr point and kill....

Do they have plan for the Okada riders abi Na sand dem go chop

Until lagos state government stops playing politics & bann okada totally in the state they are playing with fire. Most of these 'okada riders' are bandits in the waiting just waiting for a signal to attack & destroy lagos & its residents.

Which kind wahala be dis?

My only problem with this policy is the inner roads, I don't think buses can ply most inner roads in Lagos. But it's a good policy if it can be implemented

This man is senseless

dipohub SPEEDLIMITER DEVICE According to the FRSC regulations, all buses, Trucks, pickups(Ranger, L200, Hilux etc) must have a speedlimiter installed in their vehicle to avoid their vehicle being fine or impounded. DM for speedlimiter installation kolapoabiodunjgmail.com lagos

Commendable.

Remove your puppeteer's thugs from our roads. They are constituting too many nuisance. They now forcefully collect money from those trying to make ends meet.

Let's imagine Americans flush out all the hudlums/hustlers without documents back to their country

TVS owner and workers be biting fingers right now. Itesiwaju to OGUN state .... we meuveee

The tfare is expensive jnor.

Major move to prevent BH from taking the city.... at least until they bring reinforcement from the Sahel...

One step in the right direction. A clamp on random motorcycling, is the first victory against insurgency and rampant crime.

Well.. Good initiatives.. When will touts disguise as NURTW, RTEAN n Council boys be taken off our roads.

Fantastic... get rid of all these Aboki boys

....and do you know the state of some inner roads Mr. governor? It is only okada that can enter some inner roads.

For which road will they ride on, which bus will apply badagry roads, our evil politicians pity for us.

Irresponsible move. More vehicles on which roads...

All those in power always think of is how to make life more miserable for the common man. Satanic govt. Satan company

After lunching the buses, please take census of all the okada riders your taking over their source of lively and start feeding them and their families.

This people should think before implementing anything when election time come this same people will be the one you will used

Dummies

Seems jidesanwoolu wants to kill everyone in Lagos with road traffic stress.

People that the governor put around him are not helping mr governor at all...

Very smart move

They are preparing to use those guys for election hmm

CTVpolitics sanwo-olu got nothing upstairs he’s a dumbass

That's what u and Gbenga Omotosho said when u banned baruwa and okada in surulere... Phewww

Okada should not plight any double lane and maruwa,do simple law and buy as much as many taxis and let them be operated by the state government

This guys keeps proving me wrong, I felt bad when he was ‘forced’ on us bt so far, he’s surpassed my expectations. Well done ur excellency jidesanwoolu. Pls Lagosians need more &more groundbreaking projects 2 bring Lagos city close to cities like London. Healthcare reform also

How is Lagos state making it safe for all of Us? These are guys that are making a honest living for themselves and their families and now Lagos state government wants to push them away? 😭😭

Issokay lagos is becoming a mega city clap for governor point and kill ....but what this development will cause will be more than its advantages

They are not replacing the NURTW guys & end leakages of govt supposed revenues, it is bike & Keke empowered people they replaced. Later they Wil say lazy youth or they have created 2k jobs but have terminated 100k self employed jobs to create the 2k jobs. Naso dey kill Opay & Co

Ride on jidesanwoolu . It's long overdue. Okada riders, carrot sellers, pepper sellers, cart pushers, wheelbarrow pushers, sobatas (shoe makers), popopo knife sharpeners have become miscreants in Lagos creating all manner of slums. Fashola and Ambode will not take this nonsense.

How do our leaders even think?

I will partially agree with him if only he want to ban okada,coz majority of okada riders in Lagos are from the north and niger,if anything happens today, Lagosians are in serious trouble.

una don start again?

Hmm.Hope the governor made alternatives for them cause some lives depends on such

Hope these Buses can fly..

😶😶😶

Hmmmn so all those okada riders will be rendered jobless!!! Lagos shld prepare for high crime rate..... Our government r just clueless asweah

Wahala

Which road will this busses ply because I don’t think it’s this same road that truck drivers has taken over

Which one is all this back to back upsetting news from channels TV today

OK..this is plan B..

How we wan do Agbro Dem

Ask the bus drivers if they have heard of roads like ijagemo, isuti road, oko afo, etc. Even bike dey struggle. Wahala for who dey do policy wey no dey realistic
