The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has accused commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators of being responsible for the chaos and disruption witnessed on roads in the state.
News Agency of NigeriaOduyoye said there would not be a fight or argument with any operator who willingly complied with the law.
“There is no problem; once there is compliance, there is no need for any enforcement. There is no need for any fight or any incident on the road.The LASTMA boss said the enforcement was to control the unrestrained behaviour and recklessness of the operators in the state which contributed to the traffic bottlenecks in the state.
“When a minor accident happens with Keke scratching a vehicle and there is an argument, it disrupts the traffic flow. “We expect that since so many junctions and corners will be free of Keke and Okada parks and loitering; when enforcement comes up, there will be better traffic flow in Lagos State from today,” Oduyoye said.reports that the Lagos State Government on Monday announced that it would commence enforcement of the extant Transport Sector Reform Law 2018 which banned the operation of motorcycles and tricycles in some Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas with effect from February 1.
