BREAKING: LASG EXTENDS OKADA BAN TO FOUR MORE LGAs AND SIX LCDAs
LASG has yet extends Okada ban to four more LGAs and six LCDAs. Governor Sanwo-Olu directs full enforcement effective from September 1, 2022.
The Lagos State government has added four more Local Government Areas and five Local Council Development Areas to the list of councils where okada operations are banned.
They include,
1. Kosofe Local Government
a. Ikosi-Isheri LCDA
b. Agboyi-Ketu LCDA
2. Oshodi-Isolo Local Government
a. Isolo LCDA
3. Shomolu Local Government
a. Bariga LCDA.
4. Mushin Local Government
a. Odi-Olowo LCDA
The Full List of affected LGAs are now 10; which are Eti-Osa, Ikeja, Surulere, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Apapa, Mushin, Somolu, Kosofe and Oshodi-Isolo.
Logistics operators and Riders alike have nothing to fear in as much as they don’t carry passenger like Okada and are with their dispatch boxes.
The continuous ban announcement could be in reference to series of recent events in the Lekki area involving the gruesome murder of a man, identified as David by accused motorcycle riders. Similarly, a dispatch rider was caught in the Sangotedo area of Lagos with a baby in his courier box, in March of this year, the unabated rate of using Okada to rub innocent Lagosians and many other atrocities being perpetrated using bikes.
What do you think about this ban in these 6 LGAs of Lagos? Kindly pen down your thoughts in the comment section.
