that some bodies known as Almagamated Commercial Motorcycle Owners Association of Nigeria (ACOMORAN), Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN) and Motorcycle Owners Union of Nigeria (MOUN), are not responsible for the collection of the State government Tax

The State Government only approved and recognized of Commercial Motorcycle and Tricycle Operators Association (COMTOA), for the collection of Daily Road Tax, as well as taking full responsibilities at Organizing Coordinating , Supervising and Manage the activities of Commercial Motorcycle and Tricycle Operators in the State.
All these pronouncement and publications have been viewed as mischievous and a calculated attempt to cause rancour in the State Transport Sector, as well as to incite the masses, the Commercial Motorcycle and Tricycle Operators against the laudable efforts of the State Government at ensuring that there is Peace and orderliness across the State.
The Statement adds that the Commissioner of Transport Mr Onoriode Agofure therefore calls on the general public, Deltans and all Commercial Motorcycle and Tricycle Operators to work within the purview of the state government on the collection of levy.
According to the statement the State government only approved Three Hundred (#300)naira Daily Road Tax for commercial Tricycle and Two hundred (#200)naira for commercial Motorcycle operators
The Commercial Motorcycle and Tricycle riders are therefore advised to comply fully with COMTOA,as the only body recognized by Government in the State.
