Okada riders who cannot obey new traffic laws should go into farming - Fashola

 Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos has told commercial motorcyclists in the state to turn to farming should the new Traffic Law prove too stiff for them.
At a meeting with the state leadership of commercial motorcycle operators, popularly called okada riders, on Tuesday, the governor said their members were free to leave the job.
Assuring okada riders of government support, Fashola advised that their members who could not cope with the law could “register with the Skill Acquisition Centres across the State or take to farming as a profession.”
In his address, Fashola explained the objectives of the law as including the promotion of safety, good health and improved quality of life for all.
