Adamawa state Government has denied it is contemplating banning commercial tricycle operators from plying the roads in the state.
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri who described as unfounded and baseless the rumour warned mischief makers to desist from peddling dangerous information capable of disrupting the peace of the State.
“The rumours making the rounds that Government intends to ban their operations from Thursday is a figment of some peoples imagination. At no time did the Government contemplated the idea, but the work of mischief makers,” he said.
Governor Fintiri explained that government is worried about the unruly behaviour of some bad elements who have refused to see any good in the actions of the Government, but are bent at impeding the progress the State is making towards the provision of basic amenities and a conducive environment for businesses to thrive.
“Contrary to news making the rounds in certain quarters, Adamawa State government has not banned commercial tricycles (Keke) from plying major roads either in the State capital or other cities across the State.
Governor Fintiri, is desirous of ensuring that all citizens get full value from the new thinking and developmental initiatives of his administration without any individual or group constituting impediment.
“We are ready to work with all well meaning groups and individuals towards remaking Adamawa and placing her amongst the comity of developed States.”
“ I therefore urge all tricycle operators and other business owners to go about their normal businesses unhindered as no ban has been placed on Keke Napep riders in the State.”
We have equally directed security operatives to guard against the molestation of our citizens by hoodlums who peddle such dangerous rumour with a view to unleashing mayhem on innocent people.”
