The Kano state government has
barred persons of opposite genders from entering same commercial tricycle.
The ban will take effect from
January 2020.
Abdullahi Ganguje, the state
governor, disclosed this on Wednesday at the 77th annual Islamic vacation
course (IVC) at Bayero University, Kano.
The governor was represented by
Harun Ibn-Sina, commander-general of Hisbah Board, at the event organised by
the zone A of Muslim Society of Nigeria (MSSN).
Ibn-Sina said the government is
committed to upholding Islamic values in the state.
Ibrahim Shekarau, a former
governor of the state, was said to have introduced the commercial tricycles in
the state as a means of transportation for women, until it was reversed and
used by both genders.
In September, Baffa Agundi,
managing director of Kano State Road Traffic Agency (KAROTA), said the state
was planning to ban the use of commercial tricycle by the end of the year.
He said the move would sanitise
the activities of commercial tricycle operators.
According to him, the agency has
been receiving a lot of complaints from the public on commercial tricycle
operators in the state.
