FG Has No Intention To Ban Commercial Motorcycles by Obinoscopy(m): 7:04pm On Oct 31, 2014
The ministry of transport has refuted claims in the media on the federal government’s plan to ban the use of commercial motorcycle nationwide.

In a statement made available to Leadership Friday yesterday, the ministry described the report as not only misleading, but inaccurate.

It was reported that the need to ban the use of motorcycles as commercial means of transport in Nigeria was one of the measures proposed by stakeholders at the National Council on Transport (NCT) that held in Enugu State and is geared towards adequate provision of safety and safe transportation in Nigeria.

However the statement from the ministry which was signed by the permanent secretary stated that stakeholders at the National Council on Transport (NCT) did not resolve that the federal government should ban the use of commercial motorcycles nationwide.

Fashola said the same thing,yet he did it partially..

Truth is that Nigeria isn't ready for this rush-rush to copy the western world,so many things must be in place.

Banning okada is another way of enriching the law enforcers,because you,and I know its ban won't be effective implemented with the sorry state of Nigeria roads.

Am first to comment,I feel great.

In my opinion, commercial motorcycling is a symptom of the high level of poverty in Nigeria. Commercial motorcycles, or okadas as they are popularly called, first appeared in the late 1980s during an economic downturn in Nigeria. Jobless youths transported passengers on narrow or poorly maintained roads to faraway cities and villages. Today, unfortunately, the rise in okada usage has been accompanied by increased occurences of risky riding and road accidents. Furthermore, the proliferation of commercial motorcycles often comes with its attendant aesthetic and environmental challenges to city life. Consequently, I don't think commercial motorcycling is sustainable in the long run. For that reason, every responsible government must design proactive mass transit programmes, as well as job creation shemes, for its people.

Lol, expect that ban feb 15 if Jonathan is reelected, never trust politicians, they just refute to gain vote and will announce the ban after winning election, if you doubt me, ask the Go and Die Comrade governor.

..τ̲̅ђe ban was τ̲̅ђe handiwork of τ̲̅ђe APC!
..they've seen that the ruling party have capitalise on τ̲̅ђe ban on okada as their political strategy against the APC in Lagos...and they are gaining grounds on it!
...left for me, Okada should be banned but before that, τ̲̅ђe government should provide another streams of income for them..

Why do we always have conflicting stories and denials in this country all the time? Do the people responsible for disemmination of information,understand how much embarrassment they are causing the country? The Nigerian media is almost nothing to write about again;sometimes,I wonder what the outside world thinks about Nigeria as a country.

Not that I like Okada and their Wahala but for now nothing can be done. By the time you said nation wide now village police will start aresting poor villagers going to farm with their children so that they can extort money from them..
