Commercial sex workers in Osun State have urged Governor Gboyega Oyetola to review the ban on motorcycle operations beyond 8pm, noting that it’s counterproductive to their business.
It will be recalled that the State Government on Wednesday lifted the curfew that followed the disruption of peace in the State.
The government had earlier relaxed the 24-hour indefinite curfew to run from 8:00pm till 6:00am daily, following observation of citizens’ compliance and cooperation with the government’s efforts to restore peace and normalcy to the State.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mrs Funke Egbemode, citizens can now go about their businesses and other transactions beyond 8:00pm without any hindrance or restrictions with effect from Wednesday November 11.
Speaking, Secretary of Osogbo sex workers, popularly known as Oloso, Tomi Olowe, said the lift of curfew is a welcome development but the continuous ban on commercial motorcycles is counterproductive.
“Look, we know peace is important, but now that the curfew is lifted after weeks of lack of patronage, locking out Okada riders at 8pm is not good for our business.
“It is the Okada men that help us get customers, sometimes; they are even the middlemen who get commission after taking us to and fro the customer’s place.
“We plead with our Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola to be considerate and allow Okada riders more freedom to operate for our sake,” she said.
