The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) have expressed dissatisfaction over the multiplicity of motor parks and loading bays littering around the Abali motor park near the Isaac Boro flyover, Mile One Diobu, Port Harcourt.

NURTW also expressed dismay over the infiltration of the Abali motor park by various transport group, operating illegally around the vicinity, since the sack of transport operators under the flyover.

According to the chairman of the Union, Abali Motor Park branch, Chief Bethel Dappa, who spoke to The Tide on the matter, said that the major challenge they are facing presently is that of multiple loading bays around the park pointing out that the revenue generation of the park, had grossly been affected.

Chief Dappa explained that due to the proximity of these loading bay, passengers who usually patronise Abali Park, now find themselves dragged or lured to these other areas.

He said the scenario had created a sort of lawlessness in the park operations, as these group of park operators adopt various method to drag or attract passengers to their beat.

The NURTW chairman however, questioned the ability of regulatory authority in park operations in the state, to check the indiscriminate setting up of motor parks, around the government approved functional park, pointing out that those who do not have operational base under flyover, even before the scrap of operations at the area, have taken advantage of the fallen fence of Abali Park to launch themselves into the systems.

He said his union would not engage any group in fracas, more over, given the fact that government is yet to make its decision clear about the Abali Park, since the fence has been pulled down by government.

The chairman, however, posited that the NURTW is only waiting to know the next line of action of government, pointing out that the ultra modern motor park that government planned to build at the outskirt of the city could mean that all other motor parks will be closed.

He therefore urged the state government to execute whatever plans it has on motor parks, so as to close the matter of multiple parks in the city of Port Harcourt.
