The Oyo State Government has issued a December 31 ultimatum to commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators in the state to enroll with the State Residents’ Registration Scheme.
Governor of the state, ‘Seyi Makinde, announced after the state’s Security Council Meeting, that the measure is to secure the state and curtail the menace associated with commercial motorcycle and tricycle operations.
He added that from the 1st of January, 2024, no unregistered motorcycle or tricycle operator would be allowed to operate in the state, adding that all commercial motorcycle and tricycle riders must ensure that they are captured under the state’s registration scheme, with their biometrics, including their names, motorcycle registration number, next of kin and other critical information required in the scheme.
He equally said that all operators will have reflective jackets, which they must ensure are worn at all times, noting that the state government will be strict with the enforcement of the directive.
The Oyo State Residents’ Registration Scheme began under Omituntun 1.0, with the commercial transport segment already ongoing across close to 50 Centres in motor parks and okada parks in the state
