The use of commercial motorbikes on highways, as well as in six local governments and nine LCDAs, had been outlawed by Sanwo-Olu in May. The governor declared the ban to be “indefinite and complete.”

The governor named Ikeja, Surulere, Eti-Osa, Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island, and Apapa as the six local governments. The prohibition came after a restriction on the use of commercial motorbikes in February 2020.
