Okafor made government’s stand known at a meeting with leaders of the Motorcycle Transport Union of Nigeria on Wednesday in Awka.
He said security operatives had been authorised to impound any motorcycle being used within the two towns.
The commissioner maintained that the ban was due to security concerns expressed by residents of the state, adding that no week passed without complaints of robbery involving motorcyclists.
Okafor allayed the fears of the operators, saying that the state government had bought 1,000 shuttle buses for distribution to commercial motorcycle operators through Anambra State Small Business Agency.
