Motorcycle Operators Union of Nigeria (MOUN), Niger State chapter, has appealed to the state government to lift the ban placed on its members and the restriction from plying certain routes.
The Chairman, Shafi’i Maishara, while speaking to journalists after the inauguration of new officials of the union at the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Secretariat, Minna, yesterday, disclosed that the union is an affiliate of NLC, with the mandate to ensure that all members conduct themselves within the ambit of the law.
According to him, the ban on Okada has affected the livelihoods of many homes, who depend on the job, and appealed to the state government to review the ban and restrictions placed on some streets and roads. The union inaugurated chairmen and secretaries of the 35 branches of the union across the 25 local councils in the state.
Maishara maintained that the union was also saddled with the responsibility of regulating the activities of all Okada riders to ensure the safety of the public and other road users.
He noted that in no distant time, the union would organize seminars to educate motorcyclists on traffic rules, respect for other road users, as well as maintenance of law and order.
