“I was in doubt at first until Monday, two days after the ban was implemented.”
Though it was on the website and official Twitter account of the Lagos State Government, Sally didn’t believe that okada and keke NAPEP had been banned from major routes in Lagos. “I was in doubt at first until Monday, two days after the ban was implemented,” she says. It all started like a light bulb switch came on and suddenly she had the perfect plan. She rearranged her schedule as a digital marketer and influencer relations executive and strategized.
“Early in the morning you meet a large crowd at the bus-stop. You see struggle, you see fight. In the afternoon and evening the story is the same. The traffic is now horrendous.” Ladi Ogunseye who runs development and growth at FinTech didn’t see the ban coming. He, like many others in the city, just expected plans to have been made prior to the announcement. But the “deal-breaker” for him was after two of his colleagues couldn’t get home until 12 midnight. He reached out to like minds and joined the movement.Of course, the protest wasn’t rosy.
