Ban on Okada and Keke[6][edit]
In response to the ban on Okada and Keke in Nigeria, Aremo as reported by Business Day challenged the Nigerian government in a statement saying ...
“I would suggest the Lagos State government should restrict the ban to express roads and allow it on streets as some see this as the fastest means of transportation in the state. Also, in terms of people who already invested in that area of business, it would be nice if the government can also provide more means of livelihood to its citizens,” he said
but the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu said they were no going back on the decision taken by the government.[7]
