Drivers protest alleged extortion by park managers in Oyo | Welcome Back Auxiliary

Commercial drivers in Ibadan, capital of Oyo State yesterday protested over alleged extortion by the park managers recently inaugurated by Governor Seyi Makinde.

One of them who identified himself as Kola said, “We are not going to give anybody above the N200 we are asked to pay by the state government. What the park managers are doing is totally different from their mandate. We are all aware that NURTW is still under proscription, so we don’t know where the money they collect in excess is going”.

“We are totally against this arrangement and we want the state government to take necessary action to address this issue as we are no longer going to give anyone more than N200 and we know it won’t augur well with those collecting the money and this may lead to arguments and eventual fight,” he concluded.
