The Plateau House of Assembly has called for the full enforcement of
the law banning the operations of commercial motorcyclists and
tricyclists in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
The House in a motion raised by Daniel Nanbol, member representing
Lantang North Central, expressed concerns over the non-compliance of the
law by motorcyclists.
Nanbol reminded the House that there was a law banning the operations
of motorcycles in Jos and that even the tricycles have designated areas
within which they are allowed to operate, noting that the unchecked
operations of Okada and Keke riders in the state were constituting a
security threat to the residents.
“It is not safe to board even tricycles in some areas, it will be good for the law enforcement agents to do their job,” he said.
The member representing Jos North Constituency, Hon. Baba
Hassan, also expressed worry over the high level of insecurity stemming
from the unchecked operations of Okada and Keke riders in the state.
Also, the House Majority Leader, Daniel Naanlong said that it was imperative for the people to adhere to the laws.
“We must ensure that the laws we enact are fully implemented,” he said.
The Speaker of the House, Abok Ayuba, agreed with his colleagues
saying that it was sacrosanct for the laws passed by the house to be
fully implemented.
“The laws we make must be implemented and we must call on those who
fail to enforce this implementation to come before us and explain the
reason for their failure,” he said.

The member added that if nothing was done, Jos would soon be playing
host to cyclists sacked from Lagos, Sokoto or Kaduna states.
Hon. Baba Hassan, member representing Jos North North Constituency, in
his contribution, expressed worry over the high level insecurity
stemming particularly from activities of such groups.
He re-emphasized the urgent need for security to step up their efforts
in enforcing the law for the good of all.
The House Majority Leader, Hon. Daniel Naanlong, said that it was
imperative for the people to adhere to the laws.
“We must ensure that whichever law we make is fully followed and
implemented,” he said.
Naanlong however, called on the State Government to provide alternative
jobs for the teeming youths who were into the genuine business of
commercial tricycle operations.
The Speaker, Abok Ayuba, said that it was sacrosanct for the laws and
motions passed by the house to be implemented.
“It is either when we make laws and sent out motion, for people to
implement, or we call those who failed to implement, to come before us
and explain why,” he said. (NAN)
