The Lagos state government will soon commence the regulation of motorcycle taxis, also known as Okada taxis.

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu made this known on Tuesday while speaking at The Platform, an annual economic summit organised by the Covenant Christian Centre.

While answering a question on what his government is doing about the infamous Lagos traffic on the short to medium term, Sanwo-Olu said the plan includes fixing some of the existing roads that are in bad shape, adding railways and expanding the waterways.

He said the plan includes bringing in the new Okada taxis mushrooming in the city under government regulation in order to effectively manage how they impact traffic congestion. He said the plan is to improve its automation and make it safer for commuters, to the extent that operators can disable motorcycle rides remotely.

Sanwo-Olu also said the government is expanding the BRT scheme as the government is in the process of clearing 800 buses from the ports to add to the BRT fleet.
