The Akwa Ibom House of Assembly has passed a resolution aimed to ensure effective regulation of dispatch riding services.
The house passed the resolution on Wednesday following a motion by Mr Ukpong Akpabio, the member representing Essien Udim constituency.
The motion is titled: “The Need to Comprehensively Enforce Industry Regulations and Guidelines on Unregistered Dispatch Riders in Akwa Ibom State.”
It directed the state Ministry of Transport to comprehensively review the operational guidelines regulating dispatch riding services.
