This was disclosed by Governor Babatunde Sanwo-Olu in an interview monitored by business breakfast on sunday. The Governor said, “the Okada ban; we have seen tremendous improvements, in the areas which it has been banned.
In fact, people have written to me to commend, saying they are not only seeing a drop in issues around insecurity but also a drop in accidents. We don’t see people having their limbs cut off because of reckless driving that hurt people”.
Recall that on May 18, 2022, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had announced a total ban of commercial motorcycle operators in 6 local government areas in the state.
