The Lagos State Taskforce has impounded no fewer than 344 commercial motorcycles, popularly called okada, during a week-long raid in different areas of the state.

The task force has also vowed to end the operations of the recalcitrant bike riders in the state.

The agency's Director, Press & Public Affairs, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, disclosed this in a statement released on Sunday.

The statement read, "The Lagos State Taskforce has vowed to bring the operations of recalcitrant okada operators in the state to a complete halt as it carries out a week-long raid across various parts of the metropolis.

"The week-long exercise was anchored by the Chairman of the Agency, CSP Shola Jejeloye who vowed to cripple the activities of okada operators. He disclosed that their activities along some highways in the state have continually put the life of commuters along the axis in harm's way."

The statement revealed that during the raid, the task force impounded 174 bikes in the Abule Ado axis, 50 bikes in Lagos Island, 50 bikes in Berger/ Grammar School, and 70 bikes were impounded in the Abule Egba axis.

According to the statement, Jejeloye said, "We have taken it upon ourselves to end okada operations in the state and we are putting all mechanisms in place to ensure we achieve this goal.

"There is a ban on their activities along selected routes and Local Governments in Lagos, therefore they should not be allowed to operate as they please.

“It is our resolve in Y2024 to ensure that the terminal end of every enforcement is the court. Therefore, the fixed mindset of all environmental and traffic violators who think they can get away with every infraction through “man knows man” or godfatherism will not be tolerated. Enough is enough."

He also sounded a note of warning to security officials in uniform and urged them to obey the rules and regulations of the state regarding okada operation.

MUSAWA SEEKS COLLABORATION WITH NBS FOR CREATIVE ECOSYSTEM AND ECONOMY DATA

As part of efforts to transform the country's creative landscape, the minister of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy Mrs Hannatu Musa Musawa is seeking the collaboration of the National Bureau of Statistics to provide quality government owned data.
The Minister's plan was revealed when she received the Statistician General and his management staff in her office in Abuja.

Explaining that data is essential to enable the ministry build policies that will attract surplus to the country's GDP, she said the absence of data for the sub-sectors under the mandate of her ministry necessitated her seeking the expertise of the Bureau.
The minister further stated that before the inception of the present administration, the creative industry was unaccounted for within the national statistics because there was no systematic tracking of creative players and their contribution to the national GDP.

With the establishment of the Ministry of Art, Culture and Creative Economy and targets clearly articulated in the Medium Term National Development Plan (2021 - 2025) Mrs Musawa stated, it has become imperative for her ministry to collaborate with the statistics bureau to ensure the design and use of quality government owned data which aligns with ethical standards and best practices in the implementation of programmes of the ministry to develop the creative economy for enhanced contribution to the country's GDP.
Responding, the Statistician General Prince Adeyemi Adeniran praised the minister for seeking to collaborate with the statistics bureau to have quality data on creative contribution to the country's GDP.

He said the bureau will provide what data it has and will work to fill any gaps to meet the requirements of the ministry of Creative Economy so that going forward it would have no challenges in its data needs in the sector.
