The Lagos State Government on Monday announced plans to commence total enforcement of the 2012 state Traffic Law on activities of motorcyclists, popularly called Okada and tricycles, called “Keke Marwa” on restricted routes and bridges. The restriction and enforcement also affect the newly introduced “Opay ride, Gokada ride” and other similar commercial motorcycles.

The commercial motorbike has been banned from plying the following areas: Apapa, Lagos Mainland, Surulere, Eti Osa, Lagos Island and Ikeja.

Bike hailing services are also affected by this ban. The tricycle, also referred to as Keke NAPEP, is also affected by this ban.

The Lagos state government says special buses will hit the roads as alternatives in the aforestated areas. “The first thing is that transportation has to be safe and those areas will be adequately covered,” says new media aide to the governor, Jubril Gawat.

The ban takes effect from February 1, 2020.
