No fewer than 15,000 people will be thrown into the labour market in Anambra State following the ban on commercial motorcyclists in Onitsha and Awka, the Zonal leader, Motorcycle Transport Union of Nigeria, Kingsley Nworah has said.

He expressed reservation over the government’s decision, saying they were taken unawares.

The state government had on Tuesday announced the banning of Okada operations from July 1.

In a statement by the Press Secretary to Governor Willie Obiano, Mr James Eze, the decision was one of the resolutions reached at the state executive council meeting on Tuesday.

He said it was part of the overall strategy adopted by the government to deepen its crackdown on crime and restore sanity in Onitsha and Awka.

But Nworah while addressing journalists on Wednesday at the MOTUN office in Awka, the state capital, said the association had over 15,000 members in Awka and Onitsha who would lose their jobs because of the pronouncement.

He said most of his members were breadwinners of their families, wondering what would befall their wives and children in the circumstance.

He said,
”We are not less than 10,000 members in Onitsha and about 5,000 members in Awka.
When reminded that the ban was a security control measure, Nworah asked,
”Is it only Okada that is used to commit crimes? Haven’t they seen where cars, especially jeeps were used in robbery and kidnapping operations? Will they now ban jeeps in the state?
“Besides, we have always cautioned our members against getting involved in criminal activities, while we penalize the erring ones as a deterrent to others.”
Nworah who admitted that certain criminal activities were executed with the assistance of motorcycles, however, maintained that outright ban of commercial motorcycle operators was not the solution.

He said his union generated over N1.2m monthly to the state’s coffers as Internally Generated Revenue.

Gov Willie Obiano has inaugurated the newly completed Anambra Computerized Vehicle Testing Service also known as "motor Clinic" in Awka. 

The facility which groundbreaking ceremony was performed late 2015, was one of the three such centers expected to be built across the three Senatorial districts of the state under a partnership between the State Government and Temple Syc Inspection Limited.

With a total investment size of 1.6 billion naira, the Project was initiated through the Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency (ANSIPPA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Road, Rail and Water Transportation to provide modern centres that would promote and ensure a responsible vehicle maintenance culture and road safety to road users.


Inaugurating the Project, Gov Obiano in his speech said it is in line with his first-line charge to protect lives and property of Ndi Anambra, as accident has been identified to be a major cause of death worldwide.

The governor said among other things, that his administration was intensifying repairs on the state roads to complement it's efforts at reducing accidents on the roads.

He revealed that the State government will put the necessary mechanism in place to enforce the use of the center by motorists, adding that additional 100 Vehicle Inspection Officers would be recruited to improve their capacity to function with the establishment of the Service.

Earlier in his address, the Chairman of ANSIPPA and traditional ruler of Umuoji, HRH Igwe Cyril Enweze  explained that the project is consistent with the State Government's vision to ensure that all vehicles in the state are registered and operate within a minimum safety standards, adding that it is a shining example of what is possible in the investment-friendly environment which the Obiano administration has entrenched in the state.

The Commissioner for Roads, Rail and Water Transportation, Princess Chinwe Nwebili said aside enhancing road safety, the project will also help reduce traffic gridlock, reduce toxic emissions from vehicles, create jobs for Ndi Anambra and improve the state's internally Generated RevenueIGR). She noted that her Ministry was committed to driving the state government's policy for safer roads in the State.

The Managing Director of Temple Syc, Prince Segun Obayendo said what they were bringing to the state in partnership with the State government, was a unique project that emphasizes the sanctity of human lives over other considerations, assuring that they will deliver the remaining two offices at Nnewi and Onitsha in the coming months.

In their goodwill messages, the State Sector Commander of FRSC, Mr Sunday Ajayi and the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Agriculture, Tourism, Training, Methodology and State Emergency, Venerable Amechi Okwuosa implored Ndi Anambra and other residents especially the motoring public to ensure that their vehicles are road worthy, commending the governor for creating the enabling environment for investors to come into the State.

A sinister plan by desperate opposition politicians to bomb the iconic Awka flyovers just to discredit the Obiano government has been uncovered. The scary plot which sounded like a movie script involved members of a cult gang operating out of higher institutions in Anambra State who were allegedly sponsored by opposition politicians.

The arrow-heads reportedly met with their leader at popular drinking spot in Arooma Awka on Wednesday 30th May 2017 to fine-tune strategies before execution.

The leader of the gang simply called Baron let slip the grand plot after drinking more than enough red label whisky and was overheard boasting that the bombing of Arooma, Kwatta and Amawbia is the first in the series of actions that will show “there is no security in Anambra.” In what may be described as providential, a young lady in their midst who felt sufficiently alarmed about their sinister motive thereafter alerted a security personnel on the development.

Wonders they say, shall never end, but as scary as this revelation sounds, Anambra State is under siege from all fronts by paid elements whose agenda is to create mayhem similar to the street wars that led to the destruction of many government properties in 2004 and the abduction of a sitting governor.

Following a tip-off from very competent source, it was confirmed that the investigation has advanced and that the coalition of evil opposition are funding what they call “Operation Destabilize Anambra,“ with foreign currency with willing participants receiving between $5,000 and $10,000 American dollars with bombing or pulling down the bridges as the major distraction.

Already in other to give vent to their devilish intent, the chorus men have been deployed on social media platform like facebook, whatsapp and twitter to shout that the Awka flyovers are collapsing. The expectation is that the loud shouts will scare commuters who make use of the bridges. 

To buttress their spurious claims and doomsday choruses, they have found it convenient to shout about the barricades against the use of the bridges by articulated vehicles and trucks using it as excuse to build momentum while they perfect their plot.

Attempts to confirm the development has not yielded any response from the security agencies but a highly placed source in the Police said that they have received complaints concerning plans to cause security breach but assured that they are ready for trouble makers.

It would be recalled that following several attempts in the past to discredit the Kwatta flyover and scare commuters, the construction company and engineer reassured ndi Anambra that the integrity of the project is not doubt and that the flyovers are very safe. 

The statement signed by Engr. Frank Nwebeh, Principal Consultants of Fasdaon Associates, a firm Chartered Engineers and Consultants stated: 
“It is strongly believed that the foundations of the entire bridge structure have attained its expected maximum settlement. I wish to assure His Excellency the Governor of Anambra State that the said flyover and indeed all the three flyover bridges along the expressway in Awka are not under any threat of structural distortion. The bridges are stable and safe.”
