Few days back, it was rumored that Federal Government is
issuing order to all 36 states of Nigeria to place an outright ban on the use
of commercial motorcyclist (okada) as means of transportation. Right now, it is
coming as a resolution issued at the recently concluded National Council on
Transportation (NCT) meeting held in Lagos.
It was resolved that all States should intensify the
enforcement of the existing laws on road worthiness of vehicles by ensuring
that all essential checks were carried out before the issuance of Certificate
of Road Worthiness, saying that there was need for the National Planning
Commission (NPC) to harmonize efforts being made by the various levels of
government on different modes of transportation for enhancement of an
integrated transportation system.
