“The suspension takes immediate effect. Operators are advised to comply with this directive while further steps are being taken to address the situation,” the statement read.

 

Reason for Suspension and Implications

 

Although the council did not provide detailed reasons for the suspension, the move is believed to align with efforts to restructure the operations of the Keke/Bike Committee and ensure transparency and accountability in their activities. Sources within the local government hinted that the suspension might be tied to complaints about the committee’s management practices and financial operations.

 

The Executive Council emphasized that the measure was necessary to create a more organized and fair transportation system for operators and the public. Operators and stakeholders are advised to exercise patience as the council reviews the current system and develops strategies to improve efficiency and accountability in the sector.

 

Call for Compliance

 

The council urged all operators to fully comply with the directive to avoid penalties or disruptions to their activities. “This decision was made in the interest of the public and the transportation community. We appreciate your understanding as we work towards a better system,” the statement added.

 

Future Steps

 

The ONELGA Executive Council reassured stakeholders that this suspension is a temporary measure, and plans are underway to develop a comprehensive framework that will regulate keke and bike operations. Further announcements are expected as the council finalizes its review.

 

This decision underscores the council’s commitment to maintaining order and fostering development within ONELGA’s transportation sector. Residents are encouraged to remain calm and cooperate with the authorities during this period of transition.
