The Minister of Transport, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, has announced that Okada riders will soon be licensed to operate as commercial transport providers.
According to him, this initiative is part of the government's commitment to regularizing the use of motorcycles for commercial purposes.
Speaking during a working tour of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) office in Accra on his first day in office on February 10, 2025, Joseph Nikpe emphasised the need for improved regulation and certification of all road users. "On my first day in office, with so many agencies under my ministry, it is essential that I visit their offices and understand their operations. "The DVLA is one of the key institutions we intend to work with to ensure that every individual behind the wheel is properly certified to use the road.
We want safety on our roads and for people to travel in comfort.
