The Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa, has said :
“We are resolute about the Road Traffic Law; there is no going back on it. But we are going to re-certify the okada operators resident in Lagos.
“We are going to start a registration process, and in the process, if we discover those who have skills, we will send them to the skill acquisition centers established by the state government to hone these skills.
“Some of them could be absorbed into the LAGBUS as conductors and drivers. We also have agriculture, where some of them can also be useful. Apart from our farms in Lagos, we have bought landed property in Ogun State and Abuja, and we are going to buy more in Benue for agriculture. So, the options are there for them.”
The Lagos state government has continued to emphasize that there would be no going back on the ban of Okada riders on major roads in the state. It is therefore now pertinent for them to seek alternative sources of income.
How realistic do you think this Offer is?? well we can only keep watching
