Lagos State Government
will from July introduce what it describes as First Mile and Last Mile (FMLM)
mobility solution to replace banned Okada and tricycle.
Transportation
Commissioner, Frederick Oladeinde, speaking at the 2020 ministerial press
briefing at the JJT Park, Alausa, Ikeja, said: “Following the restriction of
motorcycles and tricycles for commuter operations in some areas in the
metropolis, the government is working on implementing a First Mile and Last Mile
(FMLM) mobility solution.”
He explained that Okada
and tricycle are not part of the state’s transport architecture, adding that
they are constituting nuisance on the roads and responsible for the high rate
of accidents and crimes.
Lagos State Government
has inaugurated 37 roads and carried out repairs and rehabilitation of more
than 354 others.
It said that ongoing
and uncompleted projects inherited from past administrations would be completed
to improve the living standard of Lagosians.
The Special Adviser to
the Governor on Works and Infrastructures, Aramide Adeyoye, who spoke at the
2020 ministerial press briefing at the JJT Park,
Alausa, Ikeja said that
one of the major projects inherited by the administration, which would be
completed, was the Agege Pen Cinema flyover bridge designed to reduce travel
time for residents of Ifako-Ijaiye, Agege and Alimosho local governments.
She said the Governor
Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration will make the 4th Mainland Bridge a reality,
adding that the administration plans to expand the Agege-Berger Road to reduce
travel time.
