Lagos State Government has commenced the enforcement of a ban placed on commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as Okada riders, and tricycles, also known as Keke in some parts of the state.
Chief Press Secretary to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Gboyega Akosile, wrote in a tweet on Saturday that ‘full enforcement’ of the policy had begun.
“Dear Lagosians, the restriction of #Okada and #keke NAPEP in some identified LGAs and LCDAs takes effect from today. For the avoidance of doubt, Govt will carry out FULL enforcement of the policy. Kindly spread words to your friends, neighbours and colleagues. Thank you,” he said.
