Full List Of Six Local Govts, Nine LCDAs Lagos Placed Okada Ban

 

The list of six Local Governments and nine Local Government Development Areas the government of Lagos state placed Okada ban have been made public.

 

Recall that Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, today imposed a fresh ban on operations of commercial motorcycles popularly called Okada following the lynching and murder of a sound engineer in Lekki, Lagos.

 

The governor gave out the directive at a meeting with the Commissioner of Police, Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers at the State House in Alausa on Wednesday.

 

Effective from June 1, 2022, the governor directed security operatives to enforce the proscription order across the listed councils.

 

The fresh Okada ban followed the February 2020 restriction placed on the activities of commercial motorcycles.

 

Sanwo-Olu said the government took the decision in line with the State’s Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018 to immediately address the chaos and menace created by the operations of Okada in the listed areas.

 

The affected councils are Eti-Osa, Ikeja, Surulere, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, and Apapa.
