In order to check the incidence of crime being perpetrated using tricycles and motorcycles, motorcycle and tricycle operators in the country will soon have their biometric data captured.
The federal government is setting out to carry out the exercise in collaboration with the Amalgamated Commercial Tricycle and Motor Cycle Owners, Repairers and Riders association of Nigeria, ACOMORAN.
National president of ACOMORAN, Shehu Babangida, who announced this in Abuja while unveiling the technology to be used in the data capturing, said with the proposed Data capturing of operators of motorcycle and tricycles, there would be no need for the nationwide ban on Okada operators as being canvassed in certain quarters.
He said the initiative is necessary to enable the association have a comprehensive biometric database of its members across the country.
In his remarks at the occasion, Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, faulted those canvassing for the banning of Okada nationwide, saying such move would have a negative effect on the economy.
