The Lagos State Government has warned politicians, philanthropists and other affluent members of society to stop distributing motorcycles and tricycles as poverty alleviation and employment instrument to members of the public. The Commissioner for Transportation, Kayode Opeifa, explained that the vehicles were at variance with the transportation master plan of the government. Opeifa, who said this in a statement on Tuesday, suggested that rather than purchase multiple motorcycles and tricycles, the well-meaning Nigerians should participate in the government’s mass transit policy by pooling resources together to invest in public transport-related empowerment and wealth creation programmes.
