Delta State Commissioner for Transport, Mr. Onoriode Agofure, has frowned at the increase of associations of commercial motorcycle operators in the state.
Mr Agofure stated that the Commercial Motorcycle and Tricycle Operators Association (COMTOA) remains the only body authorised by the state government for the collection of daily road tax, as well as to organise activities of commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators in Delta State.
According to a statement by the commissioner, “the general public, Deltans and all commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators are informed that the state government is within its purview to levy the N300 daily road tax for tricycle and N200 for motorcycles respectively.
“The commercial motorcycle and tricycle riders are advised to comply fully with COMTOA, as the only body recognised by the state government.”
He further noted that some faceless individuals who refer to themselves as Amalgamated Commercial Motorcycle Owners Association of Nigeria (ACOMORAN), Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN) and Motorcycle Owners Union of Nigeria (MOUN), to desist from their inciting and provocative actions, that could lead to a breakdown of law and order or be prepared to face the wrath of the law.
Agofure said that any other body purportedly performing the same functions as COMTOA is illegal and should desist without further delay.
