The Association said the outright ban may throw over forty  million Nigerians, who make a living through motorcycles, into the saturated labour market.

It equally warned of the economic and security implications, saying besides impoverishing millions of Nigerians, it would further compound the anti-social vices which the government was trying to contain.

National President of ACOMORAN, Alhaji Samsudeen Apelogun, gave the warning in Abuja, where he noted that their membership base stands at twelve million  nationwide, with six thousand adequately registered.

You may recall that the Federal Government, after its security council meeting on July 21st, 2022, gave an indication that it might be compelled to ban the use of motorcycles and mining activities as it had been discovered to be major means of movement by bandits and source of amassing ransom from kidnap victims.
