Okada and Tricycles -Lagos State Government update

“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.” Transportation Commissioner Frederick Oladeinde said yesterday at the 2020 ministerial press briefing at the JJT Park, Alausa, Ikeja.

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

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

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

So far, 37 roads have been inaugurated by the Lagos State Government and had carried out repairs and rehabilitation of more than 354 other roads.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Infrastructures, Aramide Adeyoye, speaking at the 2020 ministerial press briefing at the JJT Park, Alausa, Ikeja yesterday said that the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration will make the 4th Mainland Bridge a reality and one of the major projects inherited by the administration, which should be completed, is the Agege Pen Cinema flyover bridge which was designed to reduce travel time for residents of Ifako-Ijaiye, Agege, and Alimosho local governments.
