Full list of areas tricycles and bikes have been banned in Lagos
The Lagos State Government has announced the ban of tricycles (AKA "Keke NAPEP" or "Maruwa") and motorbikes (AKA Okada), including ORide, Gokada and MAXOkada.

Effective from Saturday, February 1, 2020, tricycles and motorbikes are restricted from operating in six local government areas, nine local council development areas, 10 major highways and 41 bridges across Lagos State—the commercial capital of Nigeria.

In total, out of the 37 local government areas in Lagos State, bikes and tricycles have been restricted from operating in 22 local government areas.

What does this mean for bike-hailing startups such as ORide, Gokada and MAXOkada? We answered that question in a different post.
