Lagos generates N1bn from parks, garages in eight months

Lagos State Government has generated over N1 billion from its parks and garages since its establishment eight months ago.

Managing Consultant of the CSDC Consulting Enterprise Solutions, Akinyele Oladeji, disclosed this in Lagos on Tuesday.

The 25-member Parks Management Committee was announced in April this year to oversee the affairs of all motor parks and garages in the state after the suspension of the operation of the state’s National Union of Road Transport Workers.

Oladeji spoke in Lagos at the launch of a political campaign platform, Connecting Grassroots Initiative, and donation of 27 vehicles by the Chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (aka MC Oluomo) for the enhancement of Bola Tinubu presidential election and reelection of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Oladeji commended Akinsanya and the Nollywood stars for coming up with the initiative.

He also said, “Tell those who are asking questions that these funds have been put into the construction of roads and building of bridges and those using the roads and bridges are not only commercial bus operators.

“This is one of the numerous achievements of establishing the Lagos State Parks and Garages.”

MC Oluomo, who promised to assist the team with the necessary logistics to achieve their goal, announced the donation of 27 vehicles to ease their movement.

The vehicles were unveiled by Fuji maestro, Wasiu Ayinde, who announced the donation of N10 million to support the group.

Governor Sanwo-Olu was represented by the Commissioner for Housing, Moruf Akinderu-Fatai.
