Why we banned ‘Okada’, ‘Keke Napep’ in 15 councils, 50 Highways, Bridges - Lagos State Govt TuesdayThoughts TuesdayMorning ReadThis TuesdayMotivation
The Lagos State Government [LASG]t has explained why it banned commercial motorcycles, better known as Okada, and tricycles, also known as Keke NAPEP, from operating in certain parts of the state.
Omotoso said the lack of regard for the Lagos Traffic Laws by the Okada and tricycle riders had resulted in preventable loss of lives, adding that their impermissible movements on restricted highways had also contributed to traffic jams.After a robust assessment of the debate on what has been widely referred to as the motorcycle and tricycle menace, the Lagos State Government and the State Security Council have decided that the security and safety of lives of Lagosians are paramount.
“Also, the rate of crimes aided by Okada and Keke keeps rising. They are also used as getaway means by criminals. Therefore, after consultations with stakeholders, the State Security Council, in compliance with the extant Transport Sector Reform Law 2018, has decided to commence enforcement of the law which bans the operation of Okada and Keke in six Local Government Areas and nine Local Council Development Areas .
Besides, the Government also banned Okada and tricycles from plying 40 bridges and flyovers across the State.
