The Ebonyi State House of Assembly has directed the Ministry of Transport to intensify enforcement against illegal motor parks and halt the activities of transport operators at unauthorised parks across Abakaliki metropolis.
The directive was issued by the House Committee on Works and Transport during an oversight visit to the Ministry of Transport.
The committee, led by its Chairman, Hon. Deacon Joseph Ununu, who represents Abakaliki South Constituency and is the Deputy Leader of the House, said the proliferation of illegal motor parks was undermining the state government’s efforts to beautify the capital city and boost internally generated revenue (IGR).
Ununu also urged commercial vehicle and bus operators to stop “pick-and-drop” operations and return to government-approved motor parks designated for their activities.
