The Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, yesterday, announced the ban of commercial motorcycles otherwise known as Okada in Asaba, the state capital and other major cities, with effect from this month.
Uduaghan, who received the new boss of Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, in Delta State, Commander Ada Ajenge, who paid him a courtesy visit at Government House Asaba, said: “I have constituted a committee headed by the Commissioner for Transport to liaise with the various Okada unions to over-see the purchase of tricycles.
“We are hoping that by the end of this month, we may not have Okada in our major cities, especially Asaba, Warri, Effurun, among others. We are going to give them till the end of this month, by which time we do not expect to see Okada in any of these cities.
“We shall gradually move to the other parts of the state but in the interim, the ones that are allowed to operate in other parts of the state must go about their trade with their helmets.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Re:Ban on Motorcycles,
ReplyDeleteI am taking my present resident as a lead. The present Government should move into action & build street roads that the proposed Tricycle will move on.
presently the only roads that run thru the Ughelli town is not yet completed, not to talk of major streets that are still earthen roads.
Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, please feel for the people you are governing and move into action.

Goto streets like Imudia, one of †Ñ’ξ most famous streets in †Ñ’ξ town, its hardly bikeable. Trekking on i† is an apology talkless tricycle! Idiot of a governor
