A group, Veteran Activists, in Lagos State has alerted the state government of the return of Okada riders to restricted areas in the state.
Our correspondent reports that the state had banned Okada in 10 LGAs but the authorities recently relaxed enforcement.
The activists, numbering 10, at a briefing, said the street traders and traffic hawkers affected by the ban should take advantage of the skills acquisition programme of the government. But spokesperson of the Veteran Activists, Comrade Declan Ihekaire, faulted the position of CHSR, saying the government had good intention of safeguarding the lives of the people.
