Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had, in May, said those who had taken up Okada riding for lack of jobs should take opportunities in agriculture, wealth creation, poverty alleviation and other government programmes.
But the number of Okada riders on Lagos roads, despite arrests, has increased. The riders have increased in number around Obalende and have taken over the Obalende-Ikoyi link bridge, causing traffic jam as drivers struggle to avoid hitting them.Speaking on the ban, a commercial bus driver, Joel Aharanka, said while Okada remains a threat, banning them would not be the solution.
“Dispatch riders are also many in Lagos. You see someone who does not know how to ride but he picks up the job, and accidents involving dispatch riders are now common. We see them involved in accidents more than any other group.”
