Motorcycle Ban: Ebonyi Government Plans Palliatives For Registered Okada Members, Insists Ban Is Irrevocable

-
Ebonyi state government has announced palliative plans for all registered commercial motorcycle operatives in the state to ameliorate the effects, the recent ban on their operation may cause them and their families.

This was contained in a press statement made available to newsmen by Barr. Uchenna Orji, Commmissioner for information and state orientation who also doubles as the commissioner for human capital development and monitoring.
The statement reads in full;

"I have been directed by the Governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency Engr. Chief David Nweze Umahi FNSE FNATE to re-mphasise that  ban on Okada and Motorcycles throughout the State is irrevocably in force.

Any okada or motorcycle seen outside or caught will be prosecuted according to Ebonyi State Coronavirus and Other  Dangerous(Infectious) Disease and  Related Matter Law 005,  2020 and the Okada/Motorcycle may be auctioned.

The people of Ebonyi State have  to understand that we know our  Poverty Index Level and that is why we have not locked down Ebonyi State like other States.

Government is so shocked about people complaining about banning of Okada, whereas, should the worst happen God forbid, the entire movement in the state will be locked down. People must see life above business.

However, to ameliorate the effect of this decision, government is directing all the Okada Unions in the 13 Local Government Areas with evidence of registration and the previous evidence of  paying the prescribed IGR fees, to immediately compile their names through the Local Government Chairmen and the Commissioner for Internal Security, Border Peace and Conflict Resolution and submit immediately to the office of the Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State.

This list when we get it will anable government assist them to procure food to enable them and their families to stay indoors. This compilation must reach the office of the Deputy Governor latest 20th April, 2020.

Note that anyone who is not a registered member of Okada union with evidence of payment of previous IGR will not benefit from this government's kind gesture".
