Enforcing Lagos Law On Motorcycle Operations by adenigga(m): 5:37am On Jan 28, 2021 |
CYNICALLY exploiting the defective enforcement of the law, commercial motorcycle operators, known in common parlance as okada, are running riot all over Lagos State. Although their operations have been restricted on major highways and bridges by law, they continue to constitute an ever-frustrating menace in the hectic transport ecosystem of the state that is Nigeria’s economic hub with a GDP of $79.25 billion (2018) and Africa’s seventh largest economy. By this haphazard enforcement of the Lagos State Traffic Law, the vision to elevate Lagos to a smart megacity might turn out a pipedream.https://m.punchng.com/Editorial/Enforcing-Lagos-law-on-motorcycle-operations 1 Like 1 Share

It is a year since Lagos state placed a ban on Motor cycle operation in Lagos, yet these guys are still everywhere. It is sad that Go-kada and others suffered for this. As usual, we are almost never able to ensure compliance to things like this in Nigeria. 33 Likes 2 Shares |

Therefore, this calls for a review, tightening of the law and most of all, the rigorous implementation. On Fashola’s watch, the operations of okada became orderly. It was just like in Delhi, India’s capital, where commercial motorcycle operators obey such laws on carrying only one passenger and wearing helmets. Lagos should not be differentThis should not be a difficult thing to do at all. But, this is Lagos. This is Nigeria! Sigh!! 4 Likes 4 Shares |

They were off the major roads before. That was when those Nigeriens packed all their bikes out of Lagos. It was End SARS protest that gave them confidence to come back. Lagos State Task For has been trying to reinforce the ban but these people together with their stubborn customers have resisted. It's high time people realised that these Okada guys constitute great security and safety menance. Government should not relent in enforcing the law and also extending it to the customers who patronise them. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Fashola banned okada in major road and street in lagos and they all obeyed the law. Sanwo-Olu should place a ban on these okada and be strictly serious with the penalty if defaulted. Sadly they agency to place their eye on this and act accordingly will end up collecting bride and allow Those goats called Okada riders causing nusiance everywhere 3 Likes 1 Share |

In February 2020, the state government said motorcycle and tricycle accidents claimed 600 lives between 2016 and 2019 in 10,000 incidents. “If you see the number of (injured) at the hospitals you will be shocked and all of this is okada,” the government said. “We had to create an okada ward.”This is just so hard to imagine. Thousands of lives lost to some of these okada riders. We are most def shock! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Again this should not pose any difficulty. The challenge is with government and its method of implementing policies. Okadas buzz around annoyingly over all parts of Lagos and have taken full advantage of the endsars protest. Get to airport road in the evening and you’ll be very disgusted. I think in all Local governments there should be serious enforcement officers. Waiting only for officials from Alausa will make this ban seem impossible. 5 Likes |

It's not possible to eradicate motorcycle completely in Lagos at the moment. If they tried for few weeks, it's the same law enforcement officials (Soldiers and police especially) that will even start doing the okada business. 2 Likes |

This is very simple, the Lagos state government should change the law on who to arrest. Just arrest the passengers instead not riders then see what will happen. No passengers no business, Thank me later. 18 Likes |

As it is in other climes, the government should think of building dedicated lanes for okada riders in their areas of operations. The state’s CCTV project should be implemented fully to capture riders who perpetrate crime and instigate riots on the roads. |
