On Wednesday, the Kwara State Government lifted its initial restriction on certain types of vehicles utilizing Ahmadu Bello Way, allowing shuttle buses, taxis, and ride-hailing cars to operate along the route leading to the Government House.<\/p>\n
Engr. Abdulquawiy Olododo, the Commissioner for Works and Transport, clarified in a statement issued through the ministry’s Press Secretary, Olajide Abolarin, that mini-shuttle buses, taxis, and ride-hailing services are now permitted on Ahmadu Bello Way, which houses key facilities such as the Government House, MDAs, and security installations.<\/p>\n
However, Olododo stressed that tricycles, motorbikes, and heavy-duty trucks are still prohibited from the route, citing security concerns and the need to maintain public order in the area.<\/p>\n
Last Friday, the government prohibited certain types of cars from using Ahmadu Bello Way, prompting the Kwara State Road Traffic Management Agency to commence swift enforcement.<\/p>\n
The restricted vehicles included tricycles (Keke Napep), commercial motorbikes (Okada), taxis, lorries, and heavy-duty vehicles.<\/p>\n
Olododo stated that violators of the limitations could face fines of up to N50,000.<\/p>\n
Ahmadu Bello Way, which was recently restored, is a significant access route for commercial trucks traveling to Tanke, Fate, and River Basin districts of the Ilorin metropolis.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Works and Transport has since begun the construction of restriction signage throughout the corridor, starting from Challenge to Ahmadu Bello Way, to notify the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
