In pursuance of the actualization of the new Lagos traffic laws, the Lagos State Government has commenced the process of crushing 3, 000 ...
According to reports from Punch online, LW gathered that officials of the state Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit on Tuesday dismantled the okadas at the task force yard in Alausa.
The Taskforce Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, was quoted as saying at the end of the dismantling exercise that the iron parts would be taken to the state Crushing Plant in Oshodi where they would be crushed and recycled.
He said the action was to show that the government had stepped up its enforcement of the state traffic law, adding that the crushing of the okadas would serve as deterrent to other commercial motorcycle operators.
Good move by BRF administration. Transportation by Okada is not safe in a modern society like Lagos and it should be discouraged on all fronts.
ReplyDeleteThis is another good move by Lagos state government. But one wonders what will be the fate of those affected.
