The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said on Wednesday the replacements for banned motorcycles and tricycles would be made available across the state in April.

He said the government would be rolling out 14-seater and 18-seater buses that would convey residents to their different destinations.

The commissioner said: “The state government would be assuaging the pain being felt by residents by injecting buses of different sizes and capacities into the public transportation space to serve as an alternative to Okada and Keke.
