The Oyo State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing the QR code-embedded jacket policy for commercial motorcycle (Okada) riders, following a surge in criminal activities involving unregistered operators.
A statement issued on Saturday by the Chairman of the Oyo State Traffic Management Authority (OYRTMA), Major Adekoya Adesagba (rtd.), stated that the government will intensify enforcement and public awareness campaigns to ensure compliance.
The QR code jacket system offers several benefits, including real-time rider verification, crime prevention, emergency tracking, and increased passenger trust.
The government assures that this policy is for the safety of all residents, and defaulters will be barred from operating on Oyo State roads.
OYRTMA urges residents to:
Patronize only Okada riders with official QR code Jackets.
Spread awareness using #NoBarcodeNoRide on social media
So for those in Oyo state, whenever you see them in this wear. Don’t be afraid. They are govt approved rider.
