Gov. Oyetola intervenes in the dispute between Okada riders and their union over daily charges.
In his continuous efforts to create a bridge of peace and tranquility among the citizenry of the State, the State Governor of Osun, Mr.
Gboyega Oyetola has once again exhibited a portrait of virtue by ordering suspension of the disputed daily ticket consolidation of N100
fee payable to the association and N100 payable to State Government as road tax agreed upon by the commercial Okada Riders’ association and the State Government till further notice.
Mr. Governor gave this order on Wednesday through the Secretary to the Board
of Osun Internal Revenue, Mrs. Oluwatosin Falomo.
While putting the record straight on the matter,
Mr Oyetola through the Board Secretary said there was an initial agreement between
the State Government and Okada Riders’ Associations on the consolidated fee of N100 payable to State Government as road tax on every commercial motorcyclist in the state and another N100 payable to the association’s coffers as against the misinformation perpetuated by some elements that the whole some of N200.00 was to be collected by government.
The governor further stated that the step was taken not on the premise of extortion but to improve on the economy of the State with its aftermath effect on the betterment of all and sundry.
In the light of this new development, “all commercial Okada Riders in the State are enjoined to allow peace to reign by continuing
with their daily activities devoid of rancor” Gov. Oyetola said.
