Delta DG COMTOA Taskforce and Monitoring Embarks on Sensitisation, Urges Keke Operators to Uphold Cleanliness, Traffic Laws

In a bid to promote discipline, cleanliness, and better traffic compliance in Delta State’s transportation sector, the Director General of the Taskforce and Monitoring Team of the Commercial Motorcycle and Tricycle Operators Association (COMTOA), Chief Uchenna Okafor, on Wednesday embarked on a sensitisation tour of major tricycle (Keke) parks across Asaba, the state capital.

Chief Okafor, who was accompanied by members of the Taskforce and Monitoring, moved from one popular Keke hub to another, educating operators on the need to maintain a clean park environment and to desist from obstructing roads while waiting for passengers. The sensitisation effort, he said, aligns with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s vision of a more orderly and responsive transport system in the state.

“Governor Sheriff has made it clear that the transport sector must reflect the values of his administration — discipline, structure, and a clean environment. This is not just about movement, but about orderliness,” Chief Okafor stated during his interaction with operators.

As the team moved around, the DG was warmly received by hundreds of tricycle operators who cheered him on, praising his leadership and his ongoing efforts to sanitise the sector. Some of the operators expressed their willingness to comply with the new directives.

“We have seen real change since Chief Okafor came on board as Director General of Taskforce and Monitoring. He listens to us, but he also holds us accountable. We’re ready to follow the rules,” said Chukwudi Emeka, a tricycle rider at Summit Junction.

Chief Okafor reminded operators of the need to obey all traffic and road regulations, including proper queueing at parks, keeping parks and their Keke clean, and avoiding unnecessary road obstruction. He warned that units found flouting these rules would be sanctioned accordingly.

He also used the occasion to issue a strong warning to impostors parading themselves as members of the taskforce. “Anyone caught posing as a fake taskforce member or issuing illegal tickets will be prosecuted,” he said, directing all unit leaders to monitor and report irregularities, especially in the daily ticketing system.

The DG tasked other local COMTOA units across the state to replicate similar sensitisation efforts within their jurisdictions, stressing that leadership must be hands-on and proactive. “It’s not enough to sit in offices. Our responsibility is on the streets, with the people,” he noted.

The visit marks the latest in a series of grassroots-focused interventions by the state’s COMTOA leadership, underlining a renewed emphasis on order, environmental hygiene, and lawful operations among Delta’s tricycle and motorcycle transport operators.

Observers say the move could significantly improve traffic flow and enhance commuter experience in Asaba and beyond if sustained and properly enforced.
