Tricycle Association Banned In Anambra

 

 

The Anambra State Government has banned the Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN) from operating in the state.

 

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the Commissioner for Transport, Mr Uchenna Okafor, via a statement, said the ban became necessary following ceaseless negative reports over the activities of members of the association in the state.

 

He warned that any person or group operating under the guise of tricycle operators would be dealt with.

 

“No union can exist without the consent of the government,” Okafor said.

 

The commissioner urged security agencies in the state to ensure that TOAN and any other such unknown groups operating under the name, ceased to exist in the state.
