In some major Kano State metropolitan roadways, tricycle drivers—also referred to as "Adaidaita Sahu"—are no longer permitted to operate.
The Kano Road Traffic Agency's (KAROTA) Public Relations Officer, Nabilusi Na'isa, announced it on Tuesday.
According to KAROTA, "Adaidaita Sahu drivers" are not permitted to go on the Ahmadu Bello Way via Mundubawa Road, Tal'udu Road, or Gwarzo.
According to the agency, the decision to issue the order was made after the state of Kano provided an alternate form of transportation for anyone who needed to use the forbidden routes.
KAROTA further mentioned that in response to the restriction on tricycles, the government had supplied 100 high-tech buses and 50 taxis.
It went on to say that once the government supplies more high-tech buses and taxis to alleviate traffic congestion in Kano city, it will also declare when tricycle operators will stop using other important highways in the state.
However, the prohibition on tricycle operators will begin on November 30, 2022.
