Oziegbe Okoeki


LAGOS State Government will from July introduce what it describes as First Mile and Last Mile (FMLM) mobility solution to replace banned Okada and tricycle.

Transportation Commissioner Frederick Oladeinde, speaking yesterday at the 2020 ministerial press briefing at the JJT Park, Alausa, Ikeja, said: “Following the restriction of motorcycles and tricycles for commuter operations in some areas in the metropolis, the government is working on implementing a First Mile and Last Mile (FMLM) mobility solution.”

He explained that Okada and tricycle are not part of the state’s transport architecture, adding that they are constituting nuisance on the roads and responsible for the high rate of accidents and crimes.

“We have identified 285 last mile routes within the seven bus reform initiative zones across Lagos. We have developed bus specifications and shared same with potential bus manufacturers. We expect these to be rolled out in the next two months,” Oladeinde said.’

Lagos State Government has inaugurated 37 roads and carried out repairs and rehabilitation of more than 354 others.

It said that ongoing and uncompleted projects inherited from past administrations would be completed to improve the living standard of Lagosians.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Infrastructures, Aramide Adeyoye, who spoke yesterday at the 2020 ministerial press briefing at the JJT Park, Alausa, Ikeja said that one of the major projects inherited by the administration, which would be completed, was the Agege Pen Cinema flyover bridge designed to reduce travel time for residents of Ifako-Ijaiye, Agege and Alimosho local governments.

She said the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration will make the 4th Mainland Bridge a reality, adding that the administration plans to expand the Agege-Berger Road to reduce travel time.

audio tactics.... Lagos mainland dirty state is fast taking over ABA...

Issoryt....Let's wait and see how it goes...We hope for the best to come

here comes another audio motive.
let's see how this plays out.
Lagos is overcrowded.

The way governments use and dump all these okada and keke guys is highly amazing and funny . Las las even Buhari household will feel the heat of this administration

Na wao!!

Story

Whatever the Lagos state govt plans to do,they must first seek for ways to employ the okada and keke owners who will lose their source of income.Ignoring these people will definitely increase the crime rate in the state.

Hmm dats serious

Good move

Why is the state so intent on phasing out tricycle? The governor is causing more problems than solution.
In this era of coronavirus when people are struggling to provide food for their families, you talk of phasing out the common man's means of TP without replacement?

Future agenda.
Na so so 'to do this to do that'.

Good move from Lagos

Wow

Hàaa

There must be am alternative before putting this in place

i

This is so diabolical. Why can't they have a general support for private transportation like Opay to establish a database of their motorists rather than banning Okada and Keke Riders without providing alternatives for them.

everyone will see it once it's rolled out

Which one b First Mile and Last Mile again

Ok

We need to sanitize the transport sector in lagos, most especially those danfo buses.

However, we can’t leave the masses struggling in long lines to access BRTs, hence more BRT buses would be needed as we do away with danfo buses.

It’s a shame that the Lagos rail line that was meant to be ready in June 2013, according to Fashola, is not completed even now in 2020. That would have taking a lot of pressure off BRT busses.

how? Dirty in what sense?

I pray they do as they say

Every government in power is always changing tactics on transportation to give room for their own people to amass wealth.

When election is now getting closer, they would now allow them to start operating and promise them better condition just to get their votes, in the end, it is still the usual use and dump.

Tell your younger ones, riding Okada and Marwa isn't a vocational skill. They should go and learn better work for story that touches like this.
