The Oyo State Government has converted the popular Trans Amusement Park located in the Bodija Area of Ibadan to Manor Park Government Residential Area (GRA).
According to information gathered, the state government will sell a plot at the rate of N40 million.
The estate will be one of the socialite estates in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
The conversion of the park to a residential area is generating a lot of reactions on social media.
Christian C.@omorogiec “The last time I was at Trans, I wept, they turned our childhood memories into a beer parlour. Now they’ve put it up for sale?”
Oluwaloseyi__@seymaster1 “This is not making sense, that’s why every development in Ibadan no pass restaurants and club houses no Theme parks, Standard Zoo, Gardens Imagine this in the 21st century.”
Adesh@soburolalekan “Honestly this could have been a better investment for state government or private sector. Just revamp it and modernize it to standard taste. Ibadan has an enormous population and people will surely make patronage for the service.”
Cityscape@Cityscape01 “That’s impossible. This is the only major connecting point for recreation and I took my kids there last Easter, this implies all the equipment there will be demolished or moved away or sold as scrap.”
MacMee@lanrezeez “Same way they sold BCOS staff quarters to the highest bidders and $hase away the staffers who lived there. Hmmm Awon omo atokowabaileje, prodigal son(s).”
Bldr. Olowu Oluwafemi@kingolowu “I first heard it at the Oyo State chapter of Nigeria Institute of Building (NIOB). I thought I was a joke. Now I know it is true.”
OlaMikhail@olamikhx “What a sad ending to this treasure. What happens to privatisation if the government can’t manage it?”
The Boreholeguy@boreholeguy “Wow…..makes sense to me. Cos the land is too big to be used as a beer parlor. Make them come gives another game arena sha.”
Yo_i am yommy@hanny365 “Our forefathers got vision I swear. Wow, I missed Trans Amusement Park. My favorite place as a child.”
