The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has accused commercial motorcycle (Okada) and tricycle (Keke) operators of being responsible for the chaos and disruption witnessed on roads in the state.
The LASTMA’s General Manager, Mr Olajide Oduyoye, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Saturday.
Oduyoye said there would not be a fight or argument with any operator who willingly complied with the law.
He said that officers of the authority were on the ground for the enforcement of the extant law on Okada and Keke operations from today (February 1).
“The compliance is pretty good for the first day. We hope to see that a lot will comply more and more. Operators must keep doing what the law says.
“There is no problem; once there is compliance, there is no need for any enforcement. There is no need for any fight or any incident on the road.
“It is just for the people to just comply and that is it,” Oduyoye said.
The LASTMA boss said the enforcement was to control the unrestrained behaviour and recklessness of the operators in the state which contributed to the traffic bottlenecks in the state.
