Okada Not In Lagos Master Plan – Fashola

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The penultimate governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola has given strong backing to the ban on commercial motorcycles by the Lagos State government.

Fashola backed the ban at a public lecture organised by the United Action for Change (UAC) in Lagos on Thursday.

Recall that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had placed a ban on commercial motorcycles and tricycles on some major roads in Lagos.

Fashola who was a two-time governor of the state also banned the use of Okada during his administration.

In his words, “If you care about security, you should back your governor on Okada ban. As a centre of excellence, Okada cannot be part of the plan.

“I’ve always held this position. Motorcycles have always been a conduit pipe for the opioid crisis among youths. We must act to eliminate anonymity.

“I was robbed in my home, in fact on my bed in 1999. Organised crime is dynamic, criminals are aware that people don’t keep money at home again, now they diversified into kidnapping people for ransom.”
