The Osun State House of Assembly on Wednesday passed the Osun State Integrated Transport, Traffic and Park Management Bill, 2026 into law.
The bill was passed during plenary after its third reading.
The passage followed the House’s consideration of the bill after it had earlier sailed through its second reading, where lawmakers extensively deliberated on the need to establish a structured framework for managing motor parks, garages, traffic, and transport-related activities across the state.
Sponsored by the Chairman, House Committee on Works and Transport, Hon. Abiola Ibrahim, the bill seeks to provide a comprehensive management system for the state transport sector, particularly in the areas of motor parks administration, traffic management and revenue collection.
During the earlier debate on the bill, the sponsor explained that the proposed legislation would help regulate revenue from motor parks, block leakages in the state Internally Generated Revenue(IGR) and provide a more accountable system for collecting and managing transport-related revenues.

The bill also seeks to promote the digitalisation of the ticketing system and establish a more organised structure for operating motor parks across the state. It further provides measures to curb thuggery, violence, extortion, and other unlawful activities associated with motor parks and garages operations in the state.
Lawmakers also stressed the importance of maintaining order and safety within motor parks and garages, particularly in light of recent disputes over the control and management of some parks across the state.
After concluding the legislative processes and considering the Bill provisions, the House proceeded to its third reading, meaning its eventual passage into law for the benefit of the people and the state at large.
Following its passage, according to the Speaker, the final copy of the Bill will be transmitted to the Governor of Osun State, His Excellency, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, for his assent.
