Lekki residents back okada ban

The Lekki Estate Residents Association has welcomed the ban of motorcycles, popularly known as Okada, and Tricycles in the area.

The association advised Sanwo-Olu to cushion the effect of the ban by urgently providing 15 LAGUS vehicles to ease movement within the estate. “We are happy about the inclusion of Eti-Osa Local Government in the ‘No okada and tricycle ban… However, formal ban of Okada in our community has always been rendered a mere academic exercise due to delay or lack of enforcement of the Order.“It would interest you Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu that Okada constitutes a serious security threat to our residents, ranging from accidents, stabbing officials, damaging cars when they run into vehicles,” LERA said.

It added: “About 10 to 15 Lagbus buses will urgently be required to avoid shortage of carrying capacity to cope with the passenger demand that will result from immediate enforcement of the Okada Ban. This is expedient before LERA’s model Transportation system…will take off in full force.
