Following the recent directives by the Kano State Government to restrict conveying of more than one person in a tricycle, the Management of the Kano Road and Traffic Agency (KAROTA), led by Dr Baffa Dan’agundi has said that the Agency has reviewed the restrictions after meeting with the state Commissioner for Transportation, Barr. M. S Lawal and other stakeholders.

Revealing the new development to newsmen in Kano on Tuesday, the KAROTA Public Relations Officer, Nabilusi Abubakar Kofar Na’isa said the new order now permits tricycle operators to carry two passengers at a time as against the earlier order which allowed for only a passenger.

However, he explained that “both passengers must wear face masks and the tricyclists must also wear a face mask and make provision for hand sanitizer for his passengers.


“Secondly, that henceforth, all taxi drivers are to carry only two passengers at the backseat and only one at the front making a total of four including the driver and must all wear the face masks.”

He also said that taxi drivers too have been ordered to provide hand sanitiser for their passengers.

He further said: “Thirdly, that it has been agreed that all commercial buses are to carry only two passengers per seat row and only one at the front and must all put on the face masks and drivers must provide hand sanitizers for all passengers.

“This is also applicable to all other commercial drivers that convey passengers from the town to villages within the state.”

Furthermore, all vans, trucks and tippers conveying goods and services are to carry only one person beside the driver while conveying such and must all be on face masks with hand sanitizers made available in the vehicle.

THE policy states all must put on FACE MASK when in commercial vehicles and trucks. What about those going to public places like markets, mosques, banks, ATMs, police stations, etc?
