Despite the delay in the restriction’s start date, the enumeration and registration of all commercial vehicles, tricycles, and motorcycles in Abia State will proceed as scheduled, beginning today, July 1st, 2024.
Prince Okey Kanu, the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Culture, stated that this adjustment is aimed at ensuring a smooth transition and adherence to the new regulations.
