Ogun motorcycle union warns members against late night operations

The newly re-elected Chairman of the Articulate Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (AMORAN) in Ogun State, Taofeek Sokoya, has called on motorcycle riders across the state to prioritize safety and shun late-night operations.

“

While the government and the security agencies have been doing a lot to tackle this challenge, we have also been talking to our members to be security conscious because security is everybody’s business.

Speaking against the backdrop of growing insecurity, Sokoya advised members to be security conscious, carefully vet passengers, and avoid taking individuals into unsafe areas like bushes. He recommended that operations should conclude between 8 pm and 9 pm daily.

“

We have told them to always be careful and watch whoever they are picking as passengers. They should avoid taking people into the bush and other unsafe areas. We also expect that between 8pm and 9pm, they would have already closed for the day.

Sokoya lauded Governor Dapo Abiodun for his administration's commitment to all-round development, particularly in the road and transportation sectors, describing the governor as a "loving father and leader of purpose." He also thanked union members for their confidence in his re-election for another five-year term.

“

We also expect that between 8pm and 9pm, they would have already closed for the day. All of these counsels are for the good of all of us.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Engr. Gbenga Dairo, represented by Engr. Babatunde Omisakin, commended AMORAN for its operational efficiency and support for the state government's transportation policies. He urged the new executive to build on existing achievements and uphold the union's values. The Ogun State Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Akeem Lasisi, also praised the cordial relationship between the TUC and AMORAN, urging unity and collective progress.
