The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has imposed a total ban on the operations of commercial motorcycles popularly called Okada, in 6 Local Government Areas of the state.
The Governor made the announcement while briefing heads of security agencies in the state at a meeting at the State House, Ikeja on Wednesday.
He said that the total ban on Okada in the 6 local government Areas takes effect from June 1, 2022, and would be fully enforced.
Sanwo-Olu noted that the ban is part of the phase banning of Okadas in the state.
According to him, the Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) under the 6 local government areas would also be affected.
The governor listed the affected local councils as Ikeja, Surulere, Eti-Osa, Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island and Apapa.
He, however, charged all Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), Area Commanders and the Taskforce to enforce the total ban from June 1.
Sanwo-Olu said, “This is the phase banning we are going to be embarking on so that others know that in a short while, either they get out or get something else to do.
“From the first of June, the LCDAs that are underneath them, we are going to publish them and list all of them, so we are giving the notice now.
“Begin to do your strategy now, from the first of June we want all the okadas to be completely off these major roads.”
