Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has lifted the ban on operation of tricycles, motorcycles and tipper-trucks in Nkanu East, Nkanu West and Enugu South Local Government Areas of the state.
The ban was sequel to the rising insecurity in the affected area especially the recent attack on voters during the just concluded Local Government elections in the state.
The ban was lifted after a security meeting with leaders of the Association of Tricycle Riders Transport Union (ATRTU) Enugu State, Motorcycle Transport Union of Enugu State, Nkanu East/West branches and the Enugu State Tipper Union of Nigeria.
The union leaders were said to have admitted that hoodlums have infiltrated their associations to perpetrate criminal activities so as to tarnish their image.
In the meeting which held at the Government House, Enugu on Tuesday, the union leaders tendered unreserved apologies to the governor and pledged to fish out the bad eggs among them and support the efforts of the security agencies to curb crimes in the state.
