The Chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (Aka MC Oluomo), has announced the introduction of the Bar Code to checkmate untoward activities among some commercial bus drivers.

According to him, the initiative will curb kidnappings and other criminal activities perpetrated by some commercial bus drivers.

Akinsanya said the issue of insecurity is a major concern to everybody and as stakeholders in the transportation sector, the agency cannot fold its arms and allow charlatans to turn their garages and parks into criminal hideouts.

“Our goal is to leverage technology to detect some criminal elements using our parks and garages to perpetrate crimes. We want to make our parks and garages as safe as possible. We will make the them hell for anyone with criminal intention,” he said.

He warned leaders of various parks and garages to weed out criminal-minded elements in their domains else would be held responsible for their actions.

Speaking on how the Bar Code works, Lagos State Parks and Garages Secretary, Comrade Olayiwola Lemboye, said commuters would download an app and scan the bar code on buses to confirm if they are safe for boarding.

“Once you scan the bar code on any bus, it will bring out certain information about the park or garage for commuters to determine if the bus is safe for boarding or not. For those who usually forget their ‘loads’ in the bus, the code will help passengers recollect the vehicle’s number plate and trace it to the park or garage such the vehicle operates from.

“We’re using this medium to urge the public to try as much as possible to key into this project because the bar code will assist in curbing the cases of kidnapping, theft and other societal vices people perpetrated with public buses. We are urging the public to just give us the benefit of the doubt on this project and key into it. It is for the good of all,” Lemboye said.

Mr Isaiah Arowolo from Dotmatech Technologies Limited, a firm handling the installation of the bar codes, said over 20,000 buses have been registered into a central database.

Arowolo said: “We have generated the QR code sticker for the 20,000 buses registered and the number is increasing daily. How does it work? We have a unique QR code sticker which will be on each bus; the commuters will download the app from the Playstore or Apple iOS. When they scan the code on the bus, information will be given to them on that particular vehicle including its number plate and the name of the secretary of the branch of that park or garage. The reason for that is just for them to have the history of the car or vehicle they board in a month or in a week or daily so that they can fall back to it and after one month.”

BlueRayDick:
But kidnappers majorly don’t load in garages na. Those who use commercial buses for kidnappings usually pick their passengers from road side….. A driver who loads inside garage will definitely not engage in kidnapping cos he can be easily traced to such garage/park.

These Dotmatech Technilogy Ltd people just wan chop inside the agbero money ni jare

Like play,this miscreant don dey turn stateman.

chuose:
I am surprised he has not blamed igbos

Dsalvo:


Tinubu reforms and betters everyone he is affiliated with. Atiku and Obi have zero history or examples of such.

Especially the very shallow Atiku who is too busy enjoying himself in Dubai to give a toss about any Nigerian.

HedwigesMaduro:


More shocked that yiibos have not said he introduced the bar code to make business harder for them.

OfoIgbo:
MC Oluomo also introduced BARS and CORDS to prevent LABOUR PARTYing in Lagos markets.

Agbero is always an agbero

BATstard!!!!

Urheadmaster:
Urchins should just exchange MC Olumo in place of Tinubu

MC Olumo have been working tirelessly without compensation for the safety and extorting lagosians for the same reasons
