Is It the Responsibility of Ambode to Build Or Reconstruct Motor parks?
The Lagos state government is currently carrying out a massive reform of the transport sector. And as part of the reform process, the Ambode-led administration is reconstructing some existing Motor parks in Lagos state.
Note that the primary beneficiaries of these Motor parks are the Local Government Councils together with the road transport unions (NURTW, RTEAN, etc.)
However, there is some rather curious angle to all of these.
The construction of Motor parks is the constitutional responsibility of the Local Government council.
Then, why is the Lagos state government undertaking the constitutional responsibility of the Local Government Councils in Lagos – despite the huge allocation and the enormous revenues generated by the LGAs?
Please, clarification is needed here.
