The Ogun State government has said that its doors are not open to Okada riders whose operations were recently restricted by the Lagos State government and are contemplating migrating to the state.
The Special Adviser on Public Communications to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Remmy Hazzan, made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday.
He noted that Okada operation is fraught with many challenges, including that of security, which is the reason why their operations have either been totally banned or restricted in many parts of the country.Hazzan said deploying motorcycles for commercial operation is not in the schedule of the National Transportation policy, adding that the Ogun State government is already looking into the issue with a view to coming out with a clear policy direction.
He said, “As the state with the largest industrial base, Ogun State will continue to welcome more investors.
