Ondo State Government trained motorcycle riders, known as Okada, on safety precautions and rules that govern them in the state on Tuesday.
Mr. Tobi Ogunleye, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transport, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the sidelines of the training in Akure that it is the sixth in the series.
The state’s Drivers and Riders Institute, according to Ogunleye, has trained various riders and drivers on road safety procedures.
While drivers just come to the institute for refresher education on road signs and usage, riders would get their licenses for N3,000 before being educated, he said.
“The drivers, who had obtained their drivers’ license, will be updated with refresher courses to update their knowledge about the rules and regulations on the road,” he said.
Also speaking with NAN, Director of Vehicle Inspection Services in the state, Mr. Alaba Adeleye, said the training is to part knowledge to the Okada riders on the dos and don’ts of riding.
Adeleye said the training is in partnership with the ministry of health – to check the health status of the riders, just the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has advised them to avoid drugs.
He said the training, which would be a continuous one, had started yielding results.
