Ogun Bans Operation Of Garages In Housing Estates

The Ogun State Government says it will not tolerate the presence of motor parks within estates and communities in the state.

The General Manager, Parks and Garages Development Board (PAGADEB), Alhaji Ola-Ayo Ogunsolu, made this known in his office while settling a dispute between the Property Owners and Residents Association (PORA) and the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) over the illegal operation of a garage located within the Ogun State Housing Corporation’s Kemta Estate, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta.

Ogunsolu, in a statement signed by the Board’s Press Officer, Mrs. Folake Ade-Adeniji, said it is imperative for cab operators and the unions not to operate garages, no matter how small, especially within communities and estates, adding that the state government would not fold its arms and watch transport unions take over communities and government gated estates across the State.

The Nation Online reports that he ordered all the taxis loading inside the estate to vacate the premises with immediate effect.
