While inaugurating the motor park managers and its disciplinary committee on behalf of the governor, the State Commissioner for Public Works, Infrastructure and Transportation, Professor Raphael Afonja, said the appointments take effect immediately.

The governor also appointed the former chieftain of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Oyo State chapter, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, popularly known as Auxiliary, as the chairman, Oyo State motor park disciplinary committee.
