Don’t Come To Osun, Oyetola Tells Lagos Okada Riders

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Apparently worried by the influx of motorcycles (Okada) banned in Lagos State to Osun State, the State Government has stopped registration of commercial motorcycles in the state.

The governor, in a statement by its Special Adviser on Works and Transport, Toke Olaniyan, noted that the decision was reached to avoid motorcycles from Lagos to overcrowd the state.

The governor urged residents of the state to report any strange motorcycle operator to the security agencies.

He said, “We have suspended the registration of new commercial motorcyclists in Osun State.

“This is in order to prevent those Okada riders who lost jobs in Lagos State from entering the state.

“Presently, we have issued a statement to stop further registration for fresh Okada riders and operators.

“Osun would soon commence registration of motorcycle owners and riders.

The governor urged residents to report any strange motorcycle operator to the security agencies.”

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Government has insisted that the ban on motorcycles and tricycles is permanent.
