Ogun govt set to ban Okada riders
This was disclosed on Thursday by Gov Abiodun’s Special Adviser on Media, Hon. Remmy Hazzan.
Hazzan, while addressing newsmen after the launch of his book, ‘Wisdom Nugget for Daily Living’ in Abeokuta, said okada riders would be phased out from Ogun State gradually.The Special Adviser said transportation by Okada has no place in the national policy, describing it as a menace. He emphasised that the riders would be taken off the streets of Ogun, saying, however, that it will be a gradual process.
“Ogun State is open, but if it is about Okada, maybe you need to look somewhere else. It then doesn’t mean those who are already in the business in Ogun are cast away yet. “We have a broad national policy that does not support that , which means we will do something that is a phased gradual removal of this menace from our streets. But it will be gradual, it won’t be radical,” Remmy Hazzan said.
