The minister who was represented by his Chief press Sec Mr Anthony Ogunleye said that the decision was imperative because commercial tricycles by law should not operate on the express and highways along with vehicles as they pose dangers to both passengers and riders.
According to Bello, most roads within the Federal Capital City, were expressways and thus could not accommodate the presence of the commercial tricycles and motorcycles.
He, however, said that the FCTA was not unmindful of the challenges commuters were facing as a result of the policy, adding that strategies were being put in place to improve on the public transportation situation in the FCT.
Bello said that the FCTA was working closely with the commercial tricycle association to explore the possibility of upgrading their operations to taxi cabs, NAN via dailypost.

All I know is that Tricycle is my best means of transportation.
ReplyDeleteFunny country, they didn't consider the commuters otherwise they would have "that strategies were being put in place to improve on the public transportation situation in the FCT" Before banning tricycle... Yeye country, making only policies that favors the rich.
DeleteShouldn't alternative means be placed/provided before banning a legit source of livelihood...ehn Minister?
ReplyDeleteSomebody will just wake up and push one nonsense policy without a plan.
You de mind them
DeleteExaltly. This is putting the cart before the horse
DeleteThey keep making life harder for the poor.
ReplyDeleteYes the decision is good but without providing the means of livelihood to the riders immediately doesn't make sense. If they want to implement a law there should be provision of livelihood for the people affected.
ReplyDeleteFor those that wont be able to afford the mini van,how will they survive
ReplyDeleteThese guys are real idiots but cows can move on express way.
ReplyDeleteI know keke riders have their madness but it makes commuting easy
ReplyDeleteWhen the preferable is not available, the available becomes preferable.

ReplyDeleteA.A Sule abeg no try this one o.
ReplyDeleteWe so good at putting the cart before the horse in Nigeria. This shouldn't be just mere talk of providing an alternative to alleviate the stress this could bring to Abuja residents. They should do something about it expediently.
ReplyDeleteVery Good.. the rate of accidents was alarming I witnessed one and I shed tears though I don't know any one of the victims, I parked off the road and came down from my car to assist the victims with other passersby.. most of the riders are racing stark drug induced illetrates who just take up keys and ride the keke.. it should be banned all over
ReplyDeleteOga pls just stop this nonesense you are saying, what other means of transportation did you provided before placing ban on trycycle? I could remember vividly when Kano State Government wanted to place ban on bike, Kwankwaso make sure there was enough keke on ground before placing ban on bike. Kwankwaso even got money frm Government coffer to purchase thousands of keke and put it on rent for the bike men and other jobless men that were relieved of their jobs in other to strike balance between the commuters and the bike men. Despite the fact that there was provision of keke, Kwankwaso still issued like 6 or 3 months to the public before he placed the ban.
ReplyDeleteIn your own case what have you put on ground for the poor masses and the keke riders? You people always like to bring untold hardship for the poor masses. May God deal with you all. If only you the way we suffer when we want to move arround within the town now, you won't be saying this trash. Mtcheeeew....
APC making life difficult for people
