Operation license of all motor parks in Umuahia North Local Government of Abia State, have been revoked by the Council Chairman, Victor Ikeji with effect from December 11, 2023. This development was contained in a press release made available by Tochukwu Eluwa, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the LGA Chairman.
The press release said that the directive revoking the license of the motor parks was issued by Ikeji during an interactive session he held with heads and operators of motor parks operating within the Umuahia North area. The press release said the operators of the motor parks were directed to approach the office of the Special Adviser on Revenue to the local government chairman, to formally apply for license and to get guidelines and requirements for re-licensing.
He warned that apart from money already being paid into the account of the Abia State Board of Internal Revenue, no funds due the local government should be paid to any individual but should be paid into the local government account to be provided. It was not ascertained if the revocation order was part of the Abia State government’s plans to relocate illegal motor parks to approved grounds.
Recall that the State government has made it clear that it was determined to relocate illegal motor parks in Umuahia.
