The decision to
restrict the operation of Commercial tricyclists on major roads and in some
cities in Abuja was received with mixed feeling and angry protest by tricycle
owners who just lost their means of livelihood.
The reason behind the
impromptu decision is yet to be fully unraveled as members of the tricycle
union numbering over 40,000 have threatened to go to take the matter to the
industrial court.
However, it is being
speculated that the FCT Administration considers the tricycle riders as threats
to security. Stories of how tricycle has been used to carry out criminal
activities were trending a few weeks ago.
In a bid to combat
crime, the FCT Administration probably decided to do the needful.
If this speculation is
wrong, then crime will double since many young men will be rendered jobless.
