Effective January 2020, men and women will not be allowed to board the same tricycle, also known as ‘keke’ in Kano state.
Premium Times reports that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje revealed this on Wednesday at the closing ceremony of 77th annual Islamic Vacation Course (IVC) organised by Zone A of Muslim Society of Nigeria (MSSN) held at Bayero University, Kano.
Tricycle which is popularly known as ‘A daidaita sahu’ in Kano state was introduced by the former Governor of the state, Ibrahim Shekarau as a means of transportation for only women after he had banned motorcyclists from carrying women.
Since the exit of the former governor, Tricycles were allowed to carry people of both genders.
The move to ban Tricycles from carrying both men and women is said to be a step towards upholding Islamic Values.
