The Osun State Government has convened a high-level stakeholder engagement meeting with security agencies, transport operators, and revenue officials in Osogbo to map out the implementation strategy for the newly enacted Osun State Integrated Transport, Traffic and Park Management Law, 2026, ahead of its upcoming full enforcement.
​The sensitization session, which took place on Thursday, October 22, 2026, was organized to familiarize participating institutions with the legal framework, delineate operational boundaries, and establish seamless inter-agency cooperation. State officials and heads of security formations used the forum to issue stern warnings against extortion, power abuse, and illegal levy collection across motor parks.
​Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the House Committee on Public Works and Transport, Hon. Abiola Waheed Ibrahim Inaolaji, explained that the law, which was signed on October 15, 2026, was engineered to safeguard transport infrastructure, protect commuters, and restore sanity to park management across the state.
The lawmaker, who represents Irewole/Isokan State Constituency, stressed that enforcement officers must strictly abide by statutory guidelines. He cautioned that the state government will not tolerate the harassment of motorists, unauthorised revenue collection, or any form of high-handedness during implementation. ​
Echoing these remarks, the Commissioner of Police for the Osun State Command, CP Ibrahim Zungura, described the legislation as a vital breakthrough for state traffic management and public safety, noting that it provides clear legal mechanisms to address long-standing conflicts at local government motor parks.
CP Zungura also issued a firm directive regarding vehicular compliance, warning motorists that covering or defacing license plates remains a serious criminal offense that will trigger immediate arrest and prosecution in line with directives from the Inspector-General of Police. ​To bolster ground compliance and security, the Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps, High Chief Dr. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, pledged the full support of the state security outfit.
He assured stakeholders that Amotekun will work alongside federal security forces to support the Osun State Park Management authority in maintaining law and order, preventing violence, and stamping out illicit touting within designated transport hubs. ​
The economic imperative of the new law was underscored by Hon. Solanke Hamzak of the Osun State Internal Revenue Service (OSIRS), who highlighted the framework’s role in streamlining state revenue streams, dismantling illegal collection syndicates, and redirecting transport levies toward critical public infrastructure development.
Complementing this perspective, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Sector Commander in Osogbo, Sunday Tayo, welcomed the law as a boost to road safety, while urging the state government to prioritise the provision of standardized, organised motor parks to facilitate effective inter-agency enforcement.
​Through structured revenue collection, strict traffic regulations, and unified security oversight, the state government aims to replace informal transport practices with a transparent, accountable, and safer transit system across Osun State.
