Governor Seyi Makinde has announced that in January 2024, unregistered motorcyclists and tricyclists will not be permitted to use the roads in Oyo State.
The governor urged commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators to enroll in the Oyo State Residents’ Registration Scheme before the end of December 2023.
This decision was made after a meeting of the state’s security council.
Makinde emphasized that the aim is to enhance the state’s security by addressing the issues associated with commercial motorcycle and tricycle operations.
He further stated that starting from January 1, 2024, no unregistered operators will be allowed to work in the state.
He declared that all commercial motorcycle and tricycle riders “must ensure that they are captured under the state’s registration scheme.”
The registration process will include important information such as biometrics, names, motorcycle registration numbers, and details of their next of kin.
