Okada Might Be Banned Nationwide

It would be recalled that the an on the vehicles use was
imposed this year in some areas of the country, with no
intention of the authorities to reverse the restriction .

According to Punch, another proposal was made by the
National Council on Transport and endorsed by the Minister
of Transport Idris Umar. In the statement released
Saturday, October 25, which followed a week-long meeting,
the ban of okada was suggested as a means of ensuring
safety on the roads of the whole Nigeria.
At the meeting, which was attended by the top
representative of transport bodies of all the states, the
council recommended the authorities to adopt the
measure.
“All states and the Federal Capital Territory have therefore
been advised to establish a public transport system that
ensure strict regulation of the operation of public
passenger transportation system through a well-
articulated management system for enhanced safety,
security, effective and efficient service delivery.”

“The states are to also develop master plans for the
development of intelligent transport system to facilitate
the development and management of their transport
operations in line with emerging trends and global best
practices.”
