Abia State Government has once again postponed its plans to enforce restrictions on the operations of tricycles (Keke Napep) and motorcycles (Okada) between 7 pm and 6 am starting from August 1, 2024.
A release signed by Commissioner for Information and Culture, Okey Kanu, and made available to newsmen, said the restrictions have been put on hold, revealing that the decision is to allow the implementation of an alternative solution.
The Commissioner said: “The decision of the state government to push forward the date for the commencement of the enforcement of the restriction policy underscores the administration’s stance of giving a human face to governance and policy implementation. It further confirms the fact that the people, at all times, are the centrepiece of all government’s policy actions.”
Kanu noted that while the enumeration and registration of all commercial vehicles, tricycles and motorcycles in the transport sector in Abia State continues as scheduled, the government will announce a new date for the formal commencement of the restriction policy in due course.
Recall that July 1, 2024, was initially chosen by the Abia government for the enforcement of restrictions but the date was shifted to August 1, before the announcement to put it on hold.
