The statement reads in parts, “This is to inform the general public particularly commercial vehicle drivers in Osun State, that the only recognised body/group approved by government to oversee the activities of motor parks and commercial drivers in Osun State still remains the Osun State Transport Management System(OSTMS) headed by Comrade Wakil Nurudeen Alowonle, A.K.A, OLA MUMMY.
