UPDATE ON THE BAN ON COMMERCIAL MOTORCYCLES (OKADA ) WITHIN THE ABA AND UMUAHIA METROPOLIS.(PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE




 UPDATE ON THE BAN ON COMMERCIAL MOTORCYCLES (OKADA ) WITHIN THE ABA AND UMUAHIA METROPOLIS.



For purpose of clarity, the ban on the Operations of Commercial Motorcyclists takes effect only at the City centres of Aba and Umuahia, hence the word "Metropolis" was used. Those plying the routes outside the City Centres are not affected by this directive. 


Again, as mentioned in the previous release; the ban is only on Commercial Motorcyclists, not on private operators. 


Sanity, safety and security concerns formerd the basis for this decision as it was discovered that some Commercial Operators stray into the city centres to operate freely, a development that's not in the best interest of the state.


Government shall take further action on this directive by ensuring that major parts of the city centres affected by the ban are properly marked as Tricycle Restricted Areas.


To ensure that some security agents do not take advantage of this directive to resort to extortion and intimidation of Motorcyclists outside the affected areas, Governor Otti has directed that measures be put in place immediately to ensure that any security agent caught molesting any innocent motorcycle operator will be punished.
