The Lagos State Government, on Wednesday, announced the restriction of the operation of inter-state buses and vehicles operating along Ikorodu Road from going beyond Ojodu Berger and Ojota Motor Parks.
The state government has also issued a seven-day ultimatum to the operators to relocate to the designated inter-state motor parks at Ojodu Berger and Ojota, after which stiff sanction would apply to defaulters.
Henceforth, they will have to go to Ojota and Ojodu Berger which are the two designated inter-state motor parks. The ones that we have here in Jibowu will have to move and there is a 7-day ultimatum for everyone of them beginning from the ones in this axis to move,” The State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde said.
Speaking on the reason for the ban, the Commissioner said activities of the operators had not been tidy and decent despite repeated warnings, and that government could no longer sit and watch such to continue in the overall interest of the people.
He said: “Take for instance, the new Jersey Barricades here are being destroyed and they are built with taxpayers money. Yes, the initial accident was caused by a vehicle but we have seen people showing disrespect to taxpayers money and that we can no longer allow.
We have also see the way vegetal nuisance have taken over everything particularly areas that are being used by the operators of the inter-state buses inspite of the repeated warnings that this is no longer acceptable. Sometimes you come here late in the night and you encounter criminal elements and the government is saying we can no longer take this.

Good one Governor Ambode.The motor parks in Lagos is something
ReplyDeleteelse.
These Igbos are just some bunch of nuisance. Now they are the ones complaining. Go to Biafra and build parks everywhere, gosh. The buses that go to other parts of Nigeria, why can't they just litter their parks everywhere.
DeleteFoolish anonymous,na only Igbo's dey do transport business. And if they did not do how can u be moving from Lagos to other states.contribute constructively.
DeleteHehehe. We are here to stay. Haters, sHove it up your a$p
DeleteAnd your people are so dirty, tufiakwa. Go and check out that park by that Total inward Ojota, managed by your people. Very dirty with those their dirty buses and their afo nto drivers who don't have their bath. Stupid goat you are.
DeleteStella please why is this great news?
ReplyDeleteHow is this great news? What will happen to ABC, young shall grow etc. Ambode does think before doing things. He is arrogant and anti poor. I know you are his PRO officer but post my comment.
ReplyDeleteJust to frustrate the Igbo. Tueh!. So, it's at ojota that d barricade wont spoil? Everyone knows that parks don't ever sleep. Heck, there are more criminals at fadeyi than jibowu. Smh @Ambode. Criminals ko, criminals ni. Is it d small parks @ ikr that caused criminal activity there? Smh!. Now ikr pipu must travel to ojota to travel?. This country is beyond redemption
ReplyDeleteYes to frustrate you to go back to Biafra and stop constituting a nuisance in Nigeria.
Deletenow the criminals and the resultant traffic will be moved to Ojodu...
Deletenot so 'great news' for Ojodu folks
Hmmmm.......so that magnificent edifice of God is good motors and Peace mass transit at jibowu would be use as booking office and you go board at ojota? Peoplewould be waking up as early as 4 so they can go to photo to travel? I don't see this as good news at all. It won't favour travellers around surulere, yaba, aguda, lawanson/ijesha axis.
ReplyDeleteTidy nd decent ke? Jibowu is cleaner than d entire shomolu. Namsense. These people re just intimidating people upandan. Nxt thing now, if those hardworking men relocate, Ambode will give his friend contract to start inter state shuttle. This country is hilarious. Next thing now, they'll send fire. Just as he sent fire to raze tejuosho
ReplyDeleteSo, If I want to travel with bags, I should go to ojota? Meanwhile d BRT buses does not allow luggage.?
ReplyDeleteThis is not a great news at all. A lot of people are going to be affected. How do people staying at far places like ijegun, satelite town,Lagos island etc come all the way to ojota to board early morning bus going to the north or east for example? Ambode should reconsider. Instead he should build big terminals at strategic places to suite everybody from different locations.
ReplyDeleteAside for security reasons, where keen attention will be given to those entering Lagos, this will no go down well with some operators.
ReplyDeleteGod is Good Motors have no less than three big parks in this Lagos, is it them you want to move to small and already developed ojota and Berger? Or chisco and ABC who have been around since time immemorial?
If all the parks in Lagos should move to these two locations, can the state government manage the rowdiness?
This should be reconsidered pls. They should find better ways of protecting "Tax Payers Momey" (side eyes).
Good morning all
Na wa oh!
ReplyDeleteOh...ok
ReplyDeletehahahahaha stella this your great news i dont understand. Oya tell me what is great about this great news. Na wa
