Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday ordered security and transport management agencies in the state enforce the ban on Okada along Mile 12 and Ikorodu road.

The Governor gave the order on Thursday during the First Quarter 2016 Town Hall Meeting, held at the Ikorodu Town Hall, Ikorodu, where he got the backing of attendees to ban the motorcyclist otherwise known as Okada riders from the route.

Responding to complaints on the menace of motorcycles in the State, Governor Ambode asked the people whether they would support a total ban on such mode of transportation in this age and time and in a city like Lagos, a question which was answered in the affirmative by majority of the stakeholders in the hall who raised their hands in support.
