The Abia State Government has decided to suspend the planned restriction on tricycle and motorcycle operations within the state.

The announcement came through a statement released on Monday, July 1, by the Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu. Initially, the government had set July 1st as the start date for restricting tricycle and motorcycle operations from 7 PM to 6 AM.

The decision to suspend the restriction follows public appeals and concerns raised by residents, prompting the government to reconsider and temporarily halt the enforcement of the policy.

According to the statement:

“This is to inform the general public that the planned restriction of the operations of tricycles (keke) and motorcycles (Okada) introduced by Abia State Government between the hours of 7:00 PM and 6:00 AM, billed to start today, Monday, July 1st, 2024, has been shifted to commence on the 1st of August, 2024. However, the enumeration and registration of all commercial vehicles, tricycles, and motorcycles in the transport sector in Abia state will commence today as scheduled. This adjustment is to accommodate the numerous pleas by Abians to be given more time to prepare for the effective implementation and enforcement of the policy.”
