Commercial motorcyclists in Osun State have been notified that the State government has not relaxed the law enforcing the use of identity vests and cards.
This was made known by Bilal Adiat, the Executive Secretary, Osun State Office of Transportation while featuring on a live radio programme in Osogbo on Wednesday.
While urging the commercial motorcyclists and their union to put an end to the false narrative, Adiat noted that with the aid of the identity vests and cards, the State government had been able to get the proper records and bio-data of every commercial motorcycle operator in Osun. In his words, “The new government has not relaxed the law asking commercial motorcycle riders in Osun State to get their identity vests and cards as being peddled around in some quarters.
DAILY POST had published in January, 2022, that a cross-section of commercial motorcyclists operating within Osogbo, had protested the non-delivery of riders’ identification jackets by the then Adegboyega Oyetola-led State government several months after they were paid for.
