Okada riders are making a gradual return to the roads of Lagos

The ban on the movement of commercial motorcycles,
popularly known as Okada, seems to have been relaxed
by the Lagos State Government, going by the sheer
number of motorcyclists on major highways.
In areas like Ikeja, Surulere, Ketu, and some parts of
Lagos Island, commercial motorcycles can be often seen
plying their trade with little or no restrictions, as
opposed to what was obtainable, when they were
practically run off the roads.
Observers have accused the Governor Babatunde
Fashola administration of relaxing the law based on
2015 political considerations. Many commercial
motorcyclists, who represent a large voting block, have
threatened to withdraw their support for the All
Progressives Congress (APC) party if the law is not
repealed or at-least relaxed. The ban of Okada on major
Lagos highway, according to them, goes a long way to
reinforce the elitist image projected by the Fashola
government.
