So, taking okada off the roads is helping our young ones to stay alive. There are very fantastic people who are into entertainment, and technology, and no responsible government will watch their blood spilt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, taking okada off our roads is not hurting our people. We are not leaving them to their own devices and so we have said anyone who is interested in doing a decent business can form a cooperative and join the First and Last Mile Bus Scheme. Some of them have come up to do that actually because they know okada is not in the transportation plan of Lagos State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can present their proposals to the State Employment Trust Fund and get money to fund their businesses. We have vocational centres where they can learn a trade and start a new life. So anyone saying okada is the only way to earn a living in Lagos is not doing any good,\u201d Omotoso stated.<\/p>\n<p>The State Commissioner for Transportation, Frederic Oladeinde, in his own submission, noted that tricycles popularly called Marwa were also not part of the state\u2019s strategic transport master plan, but assured the people that taking them totally off Lagos roads would be after the government had put in place necessary replacements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTricycle is also not part of the strategic transport master plan, but we understand the gap we have in our system. So, over time, as we develop our rail system, BRT and increase the number of boats on our waters, I think the tricycles would disappear. But they would, however, be incorporated into the new systems through cooperatives. That is why there\u2019s a systemic approach to ensuring that while we get rid of one mode, we absorb them into another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy message to Lagosians is that they should be calm, obey traffic laws and patronise the alternatives provided to okada. We are putting more high capacity buses on the road, and the government is working to make sure our rail system works fine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Task Force Chairman, Jejeloye described the enforcement as good, noting that the enforcement didn\u2019t just come into play on June 1, 2022, but in February, adding: \u201cBut people believe in violating the law, which is not good enough in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe enforcement didn\u2019t just come into play on June 1, it came first in February and we have been on it since then. But people believe in violating the law, which is not good enough in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince we began enforcement on June 1, there have been more than 85 per cent compliance because the number of okadas on the road has reduced greatly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, I will urge the riders to continue to stay off because the enforcement will continue still. They might believe we will relax after the first week, but I am telling them now that there will be more intense enforcement starting next week. We will visit those areas we could not visit last week,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no going back because it\u2019s government policy and the government does not make a mockery of its decisions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lagos State Task force crushed about 2,000 impounded commercial motorcycles popularly called Okada on Friday.
