Ogun Partners Private Firm On Organised Street Parking

GOVERNMENT has introduced an electronic pay and display machine for organised street parking.

The user-friendly solar-powered machine, which is the outcome of the partnership between Ogun State Bureau of Transportation (BOT) and Parking Services & Management Company Limited (PAKS), was recently installed at Itoku Market in Abeokuta.

The process is aimed at minimising cash collection for parking while emphasis is on the use of the Ogun State parking e-payment cards.

Motorists can obtain the e-payment cards at the point of parking (free for now) or from the Ogun State BOT office in Abeokuta or at PAKS
offices nationwide.

Motorists are expected to load units into the cards at same venue or through other recommended media. All that is required of the motorist is to tap the e- card at the designated spot on the P&D machine and follow instructions as displayed, and within five seconds, the payment is deducted and receipt is issued for the driver to display on his/her dashboard.
