Post created on 4:21 pm

The Delta State Government has disowned the Amalgamated Commercial Motorcycle Owners Association of Nigeria (ACOMORAN), Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN) and Motorcycle Owners Union of Nigeria (MOUN) in the management of the operations of commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators in the state.

Recall that the State Government recently authorised the Commercial Motorcycle and Tricycle Operators Association (COMTOA) to from Monday, January 8, 2024, handle the management and collection of Daily Road Tax from operators of commercial motorcycles (Okada) and tricycles (Keke).

In a statement at the weekend the Delta State Commissioner for Transport, Mr Onoriode Agofure reaffirmed that COMTOA remains the only recognized body authorised to manage and collect Daily Road Tax from operators on its behalf.

Agofure, therefore, urged Deltans and the general public to disregard any position being canvassed by the above mentioned bodies while warning them to desist from provocative actions that could lead to a breakdown in law and order.
