Anambra government has restated that the ban on commercial motorcycles in major cities such as Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi and Ekwulobia is still in force.
The Commissioner for Information Chief Paul Nwosu stated this while briefing the press after the weekly executive council meeting of the government at the Government House, Awka.
The Commissioner observed that some commercial motorcycle riders, popularly known as “Okada” have gradually found their ways back on roads in Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi and Ekwulobia, stating that their recklessness owing to lack of riding training and ignorance of traffic signs are beginning to produce high rate of avoidable accidents on the state roads.
Chief Nwosu maintained that “Okada” has been fingered severally by law enforcement agents as being the major conveyor belt through which criminals ply their nefarious businesses, mostly in places like Nnewi where private motorcycles are means of commuting to places of work and business, the riders must wear crash helmets to protect their heads in case of accidents.
He stated that companies involved in courier services, dispatch services and home deliveries must register with the Ministry of Transport and have their riders properly kitted up.
