 He stressed that Motorcycle operators are a key engine to the growth and development of any government as they constitute the masses at the grassroots.

 He however, called on the governor to look into the demand of allowing the union to form an outfit charged with the responsibility of fishing out hoodlums who infiltrate them in disguise as members but are hoodlums.

He said that in many instances that these hoodlums have being caught and exposed, and are not their members. He stressed that no member of the union will dare to steal or take what does not belong to them as they pass strict induction process before they are admitted into the union and would not want to mess it up for any reason.

He therefore called on the government to allow them form a vigilance service for members of the union so as to stop bads egg, who are seen most times as their members, but who are not.

He thanked the current commissioner of transport Hon. Uche Okafor, whom he described as a man who knows what he is doing and asked him to keep up with the good work, which he said has helped in bringing back sanity in the sector.

He tasked other legislators at the Green and Red Chamber not to forget the many challenges facing the people of Anambra and the need to look into it.
