The National President of ACOMORAN, Alhaji Muhammad Sani Hassan, at a press briefing in Abuja on Friday 3rd March, said banning the operation of commercial motorcycles would make no fewer than 30 million Nigerians jobless.
According to him, the Corps Marshal of FRSC, Boboye Oyeyemi, should have resigned his position over policy failure as it concerned road safety in Nigeria.
