A contractor and former SA on Legal Matters to Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Mr Olufemi Oniyide has dragged the Seyi Makinde-led Oyo state government before the Oyo State High Court, Ibadan over alleged Park Management Project Conversion which was recently inaugurated as Park Management System (PMS) in the state.
The party in Suit No: I/421/2020, filed at the State High Court, Ibadan, also joined the state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, the Chief of Staff , Chief Luqman Oyebisi Ilaka, Commissioner for Public Works, Infrastructure and Transportation, Professor Raphael Afonja and Oyo State Board of Internal Revenue as defendants.
