 Lagos bans tricycle, motorcycle for security

By Modupe Shodeinde

Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Frederic Oladeinde, has cited security as part of the reasons the state is banning tricycle and motorcycle from operating.

The commissioner in an interview with PUNCH Newspaper, also said the tricycle and motorcycle are not in the master plan of the state.

“The Okada is not something in our master plan. A smart city like Lagos involves an integrated public transport system that consists of rail, water transport and buses.

“Obviously, we will continue to optimise our road network for more usage and that’s the future of Lagos State.

“We are conscious of the environment and we are also security conscious. We want to move our people securely from one point to another.” he said

“Keke Napep and Okada are not the best way to do that. When you have more space, then we can consider that. But in a small place like Lagos, that’s a lot of planning.”
