“Some of them ride without considering other road users and my intention is to have a meeting with them, give them public enlightenment, and then enforcement.
“The issue of number plates and rider’s license is not a recent thing, it has been in existence and it is a way to ascertain the authenticity of the riders.
“Having number plates and rider’s license is to show that the commercial riders are certified to ride on the highway,” he said.
He urged them to ensure their vehicles’ wipers and brake light function optimally.
Nwabuike, however, encouraged the riders to make use of safety helmets while on the road with a view to safeguarding their lives in the event of an accident.
