Commercial motorcycles, popularly known as Okada, represent a significant means of transportation for many Nigerians particularly for those living in the hinterlands or who may wish to get to their destinations faster or avoid motor traffic in some cities.
Despite the challenges associated with the use of Okada as a means of transportation, many commuters have adjusted to it or adopted it as a means of movement because they have no other choice.
A recent report released by the National Bureau Of Statistics (NBS) has identified states with the highest and cheapest costs paid by commuters for a single trip of commercial motorcycles as of May 2024.
