MOTORCYCLE BAN AND ITS ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS ON UYO METROPOLIS OF AKWA IBOM STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This survey was conducted with the primary aim of assessing the Economic Implications of Motorcycle Ban in Uyo Metropolis of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Data were collected through the use of structured questionnaire, personal observations and interviews; and analyzed using simple percentage and frequency counts. The population of the study comprised all tricycle operators in Uyo metropolis. Stratified random sampling technique was used in selecting one hundred respondents from the study area. The result revealed among others that though government has made tremendous efforts in tackling the problems of urban transportation within Uyo municipality, yet the spate of insecurity and crime in the State may not be unconnected with the recent ban of motorcycle operation in the municipality. Based on this, it was recommended amidst others that government should create more job opportunities as well as skill acquisition centres where most of the motorcyclists who have been affected can be trained on various trades and empower the graduates to kick start small businesses of their own so as to be able to carter for themselves and families.
