The Osun State Government has suspended the registration of new commercial motorcyclists to prevent those who have lost their means of livelihood in Lagos State from invading the state.
A statement by Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Transport, Toke Olaniyan, said the state would soon commence registration of motorcycle owners and riders.
The statement read, ‘At this moment we have issued a statement to stop further registration for fresh Okada riders and operators.’
‘We want all persons to be observant and vigilant. Any strange motorcycle operator should be reported immediately to the security agencies.’
The Ogun State government has said that its doors are not open to Okada riders whose operations were recently restricted by the Lagos State government and are contemplating migrating.
The Special Adviser on Public Communications to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Remmy Hazzan, made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday.
The Government was reacting to a statement credited to the Chairman Caretaker Committee on Transportation in the State, Femi Adeniyi, who was on Monday reported to have assured the motorcyclists that left Lagos to the state of adequate accommodation.
