Report Touts' Operations To Anambra State Government- Soludo's Aide


Anambra State Government has reiterated it's ban on touts operating in any location within the state.

Chief of Staff to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, Mr Ernest Ezeajughi stated this while speaking to some aggrieved tricycle operators who took their peaceful demonstration to Government House, Awka.

According to Mr. Ezeajughi, Governor Soludo-led administration which is barely four months in office is trying out measures to make life meaningful for the masses, including members of the tricycle riders' association.

He asked them to call the hotlines provided by government to report any wrong doing, explaining that the monthly payment of fifteen thousand naira which amounts to about six hundred naira, daily.

While asking the keke riders to make sure to get enrolled into the system by acquiring their identity cards and other modalities, Mr. Ezeajughi noted that they have the option of paying fourty-two thousand naira quarterly or twenty one thousand naira in six months and enjoy the rebate that comes with it, pointing out that government is only trying to generate revenue while serving the public at the same time.

One of the keke riders, Mrs Kingsley Abbah complained that they still pay 100 naira per passenger at every park, asking government to do their own side of the bargain by stopping every other fee in parks because it is too much to deal with.

As for another operator, Mr. Collins Agu, government should start executing immediate arrests, stressing that keke riders should be in control of the Union and not in the hands of people who don't ride tricycles.

Chidi Okoroafor who ply Ifite route explained that one of their problems lies in meeting up with payment for hire purchase, noting that for those operating in Ifite, though security operatives have chased the touts away on countless occasions, they keep coming back to cause chaos along that path.

They all asked the state government to simplify the process as majority of them are poor and uneducated.
