The Kokun Foundation on Tuesday gifted Sandra, the former Gokada rider who spoke in a viral video on ban of Okada in Lagos State.

Sandra, an OND graduate of Accountancy from College of Technology, is currently on her one-year Industrial Training with one of the bike-hailing company as a ‘rider’ and as such, was affect with the sudden #OkadaBan in Lagos State.

In the viral video captured by Legit.ng, Sandra earnestly pleaded with the Government to regulate the bike services and NOT ban them because there were so many people who would become unemployed and experience a more difficult life due to the ban.

Sandra also said she was currently doing the job because she wants to save enough money to sponsor her quest for a Higher National Certificate when the time comes.

It seems her new benefactor, Kokun, came across the video on social media and decided to ease her pain by giving her a brand new car.
