Lagos council boss seeks support for ban on Okada operation, assures of alternative transportation

The Chairman of Lagos Island East Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Muibi Alade Folawiyo, has assured residents of adequate alternative means of transportation to address the security threat posed by commercial motorcyclists.

While urging the commercial motorcyclists to fully comply, he warned that disobedience to the governor’s directive would be met with stiff penalties.
  
The council boss also implored the youths to resist any attempt by the Okada riders to drag them into a confrontation with the government, stressing that the ban on Okada operations is for the common good of the society.
 
He said: “We fully support Mr. Governor’s directive on Okada ban. Lagos Island is a cosmopolitan city that deserves a model transportation system.
 
“The untoward activities of Okada riders need to be put under control. We cannot allow lawlessness to become an order in our council. We want a council that is free of the shenanigans of Okada riders.”
