Lagos State Government on Monday wielded the big stick against the menace of commercial motorcycles (Okada) and tricycles (Keke NAPEP) @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos

Proscribing their operations in six Local Government Areas (LGAs), nine Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) and 10 major highways across the State with effect from February 1 @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos

LASG directed security operatives to embark on a total enforcement of the State’s Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018 to immediately address the chaos and disorderliness created by illegal operations of Okada and tricycle riders in restricted areas #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos

Besides, the Government also banned Okada and tricycles from plying 40 bridges and flyovers across the State @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos

Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, made the announcement at the State House in Alausa @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos

He said the measures were taken by the Government in response to “scary figures” of fatal accidents recorded from operations of Okada and tricycles in the State between 2016 and 2019 @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos

Omotoso said the lack of regard for the Lagos Traffic Laws by the Okada and tricycle riders had resulted in preventable loss of lives, adding that their impermissible movements on restricted highways had also contributed to traffic jams @jidesanwoolu #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos

Omotoso said the enforcement would be total, warning that the Government would deal with violators in accordance with the Laws. He added that there would be zero tolerance for the movement of the banned vehicles on the listed highways and bridges #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
