COMMERCIAL Motorcycle and Tricycle Riders Association in Delta State is set to validate members’ documentation as part of measures to curb crime and regulate the activities of riders and passengers using the roads.
Speaking to The Pointer,, the Chairman, Dauda Ismaila said that the exercise would enable the union to know how many riders were operating in Oshimili South Local Government Area, including other communities within the area.
Ismaila called on members to quickly go to their Secretariat and get validated to avert embarrassment by the taskforce and impoundment of their tricycle, stressing that the exercise would further protect the properties of passengers when lost in transit.
