Punch Newspapers Sections Wale Oyewale, Ibadan An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan has nullified the appointment of Park Managers inaugurated in 2020 by the Seyi Makinde-led administration. The Park Management System was introduced last year following the proscription of the National Union of Road Transport Workers in the state. Justice M. A. Adegbola, who presided over the case filed by the former chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers in the state, Abideen Olajide, popularly called Ejiogbe, described as illegal the collection of rates by the park managers appointed by the state government. The judgment reads “That the management and control of motor parks is a local government function as provided for under Section 7 (5) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended and that such duty and function can only be performed exclusively by the local governments as listed in the 1999 Constitution.
