CALABAR – The Cross River State Government has announced plans to crack down on unauthorised motor parks in Calabar, directing operators at six identified locations to stop loading activities immediately or face sanctions.
The Ministry of Transportation said its task force would commence inspections of motor parks on Friday, November 13, to enforce compliance with operational licensing requirements and established ministry standards.
In a press release dated November 9 and signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Hon. Kingsley Egumi, the Ministry said it had observed the proliferation of motor parks operating without valid licences issued by the government.
The affected locations include PHED Office, IBB Way by Etta Agbor, MCC Junction, Army Junction by the “Welcome to Calabar” sign, Mary Slessor by the Cultural Centre and Ekpo Abasi Junction.
The Ministry also extended the warning to other unauthorised locations, urging operators without valid operational licences to regularise their status immediately.
It warned that operators who fail to comply would face appropriate sanctions, although the statement did not specify the penalties or identify alternative loading points for affected drivers.
The Ministry said the enforcement exercise was aimed at ensuring an orderly, safe and regulated transportation system across the state.
