Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi has debunked the rumour that his government is planning to ban motorcycle riders.
As stated by him, his administration will regulate and sanitise their operation through maximum compliance with traffic laws.
Ajimobi, who was represented by Commissioner for Information Gbade Lana, spoke yesterday at the opening of the workshop organised for motorcycle riders by the Ministry of Transport and Honda Manufacturing Company.
Commissioner for Transport Prof Nureni Tanimowo said: “It is my firm belief that these accidents will be minimised, if the riders are properly educated on safety measures that are expedient for their operations.”
