All motorcycles riders in Nigeria, might need to start sourcing for other means of income as the FG is set to ban the use of motorcycles as commercial means of transport nationwide.
A statement from the Federal Ministry of Transport sent to media houses, says that a ban on commercial motorcycles is one of the measures proposed towards adequate provision of safety and secure transportation in Nigeria.
“All states and the Federal Capital Territory have therefore been advised to establish a public transport system that ensure strict regulation of the operation of public passenger transportation system through a well-articulated management system for enhanced safety, security, effective and efficient service delivery,” the statement said.
“The states are to also develop master plans for the development of intelligent transport system to facilitate the development and management of their transport operations in line with emerging trends and global best practices.”
“Also, all commercial vehicles should be properly registered in each state while their enumeration should be carried out periodically to enhance safety and security.”
Is that our problem? We nigerians have a serious problem that we suppose to solve and not denying the poor their source of income. Better still, the FG should provide a better job for the riders.
nice
FG and every State Govt should make adequate arrangements for the Riders so as to have means of livelihood
