In its bid to stop the use of unauthorized motor parks and illegal garages due to safety concerns, the Kwara State Government has warned all commercial road transporters to stay off the road sides or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.

The Kwara State Commissioner for Transportation, Hon. Lafia Aliyu Korasabi, gave the warning during the joint team inspection exercise with the State Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) and Kwara Road Traffic Management Authority (KWARTMA), in Ilorin metropolis, recently.

The Commissioner harped on the importance of well coordinated motor parks to ensure the safety of Kwarans and complement the Kwara State Governor's agenda of rebranding the traffic management systems of the State to meet evolving global standards.

The exercise, which covered major areas including Post-Office, Challenge, Offa Garage, Adisco and Baba Ode - Ita-Elepa axis, is part of the government’s  efforts to rid the State of unauthorized motor parks and enforce transport regulations more effectively.

Advising commuters on security consciousness, the Commissioner, appealed that commuters should only patronize government-approved motor parks, where vehicle documentation, operational standards are strictly monitored and enforced.

The Commissioner, however, revealed that work is ongoing towards having an accurate database of all recognized garages across the State; aimed at strengthening security and enhancing smooth coordination of the transport system for the State.

Also, on the Commissioner's entourage, were the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Alh. Salau Kabiru Abdullahi;  Directors of the Ministry,  Chief Executive Officer, KWARTMA, Mr. Suleiman Abdullahi Oba; Chief Vehicles Inspection Officer, Engr. Ayuba Isiaq; other members of the Ministry and the State road traffic officers.
