COVID-19 : AMORAN orders strict adherence to government's instruction in Ogun

PRESS STATEMENT 

  In a bid to halt the continuous spread of the pandemic coronavirus which is otherwise known as COVID-19, the Dapo Abiodun-led Ogun State government has recently announced other  measures in combatting the deadly disease - which includes the prohibition of commercial riders from carrying more than one passenger.

  In light of this, the Articulate Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (AMORAN) which is fully committed to the agenda of "building our future together", has ordered commercial motorcycle riders to pay strict adherence to the guidelines given by the State government. The union noted that since health is wealth, the battle to oust the continuous spread of the disease should be a collective one. 

  In addition, commercial motorcyclists are advised to get their riding gloves and nose mask on while commuting passengers from and to their destinations. These guidelines must be firmly complied with as any rider caught in contrary acts shall be treated as an enemy of the State.

Covid-19 : AMORAN highlights safety tips for commercial motorcyclists in Ogun State

   The Ogun State chapter of the Articulate Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (AMORAN) has highlighted ways to stay safe from the pandemic disease - Coronavirus, also known as Covid-19. In a statement issued by the P R O, Otunba Taofeek Sokoya, the union maintained that "the primary cause of the spread of a disease is usually borne out negligence and lack of detailed information". Hence, the decision to educate riders on how to keep safe from the fast spreading virus. 

    Recall that the first coronavirus case in Nigeria was recorded on the 27th of February, 2020 when an Italian businessman, who was reportedly on a visit to Lafarge Africa PLC, Ewekoro, Ogun State was diagnosed with the disease and has since been taken to a Lagos State hospital for treatment.  

  While rolling out the safety tips, Otunba Taofeek Sokoya maintained that it is imperative for the union to educate and enlighten riders across the State on how to stay safe and avoid contacting the disease. 

  "It is no more a news that the deadly disease - Coronavirus is about bringing the world to her knees. AMORAN, as a union which prioritizes the wellbeing and safety of its riders would have preferred to organize a sensitization programme for riders in the State but for the ban on public gatherings by the State government in Ogun, which is of course one of the measures put in place to tackle the spread of the pandemic disease. 

 In light of this, it is advisable that our riders avoid large gatherings. It has been clearly stated that one of the ways to avoid coronavirus is by " avoiding being exposed" to the virus. Riders are therefore enjoined to shun popular hangouts that attract a lot of people. Other tips include; do not touch your face, carry your sanitizer with you if possible, clean and disinfect any commonly touched surface on your bike, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve when you cough or sneeze, put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards, avoid close contact with people who have symptoms of coronavirus, put on your riding gloves and helmet. We should all remember that prevention is better than cure. May Almighty Allah keep us far from all forms of disease". 

  He further noted that the union is still nosing for other means through which it can get this message passed across to a reasonable percentage of commercial motorcycle riders in Ogun State for enlightenment purpose.

 It is most fitting and appropriate for me to convey my warmest tribute to the celebrated hero, Lisabi, for his selflessness and bravery which has earned Egba an identity for so many years. I have no doubt that this year's festival will help to reinvigorate the communal spirit, discipline and sustained hard work for the betterment and advancement of Egba. I wish His Royal Majesty a glorious celebration, excellent health and the divine wisdom to continue to lead Egbaland to greatness", Alowonle said. 

  The Lisabi festival commemorates the celebration of the Egba hero called Lisabi. Lisabi is known as a great warrior who fought assiduously for the peaceful settlement of the Egba people during the intertribal wars around the 1930.

History has revealed that Lisabi, the great Egba hero, did not die but intentionally vanished into the earth in a forest between Maroko and Abatan villages in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area; the place is now known as Lisabi forest.

The forest is bounded in the west of the Ogun River and in the south of Tegbelu stream. Lisabi festival is an annual event held in the month of March amidst pomp and pageantry. The festival attracts visitors and tourists from far and near.
