The Kwara State Government, on Wednesday, reversed its initial ban on certain categories of vehicles using Ahmadu Bello Way, allowing shuttle buses, taxis, and ride-hailing vehicles to operate on the route leading to the Government House.

 

The Commissioner for Works and Transport, Engr. Abdulquawiy Olododo, in a statement released through the ministry’s Press Secretary, Olajide Abolarin, clarified that mini-shuttle buses, taxis, and ride-hailing services are now permitted on Ahmadu Bello Way, which accommodates key facilities including the Government House, MDAs, and security installations.

 

“This clarification is necessary for public awareness,” the statement read.

 

However, Olododo reiterated that tricycles, motorcycles, and heavy-duty trucks remain restricted from the route, citing security concerns and the need to maintain public order in the area.

Last Friday, the government had restricted several categories of vehicles from accessing Ahmadu Bello Way, directing the Kwara State Road Traffic Management Agency to begin immediate enforcement.

 

The restricted vehicles included tricycles (Keke Napep), commercial motorcycles (Okada), taxis, trucks, and heavy-duty vehicles.

 

Olododo noted that violators of the restrictions would face fines of up to N50,000.

 

Ahmadu Bello Way, recently rehabilitated, serves as a key access route for commercial vehicles heading to Tanke, Fate, and River Basin areas within the Ilorin metropolis.

 

The Ministry of Works and Transport has since commenced the installation of restriction signage along the corridor, starting from Challenge through Ahmadu Bello Way, to notify the public
