The Ministry had in a letter dated 15th December, 2022, approved the Ogun State Operations Management Services (OSOMS) as one of the transport unions operating in its parks.

Ogun, Akinloye Bankole, the party conceded that the transportation sector has enjoyed a recorded lease of peace and tranquility since the inception of the Dapo Abiodun-led administration in 2019, expressing worries that the government is now seeking to deliberately create a needless leadership tussle among operators in that sector.

“For every right thinking resident and citizens of good conscience, the creation and announcement of a strange OSOMS by the Ministry of Transportation is not only distasteful, it is manifestly unnecessary.

“Again, we make bold to further encourage all the security agencies, especially the Nigerian Police and Department of State Service, DSS and of course, law abiding members of the public to hold the Commissioner responsible in case of any violent break down of law and order in our parks and garages as a result of this senseless development in the transportation sector.

“Ogun State does not deserve another avoidable loss of lives and property,” Bankole said.
