In a significant development, the popular NTA Park in Jos has been officially sealed, necessitating the relocation of its operations. The park, known for being a major transport hub in the city, has been moved to the Ngo Talatu Jang Motor Park along Bukuru Express Way in Jos-South.
The decision to seal NTA Park was made due to a combination of factors including infrastructural concerns, urban planning regulations, and efforts to decongest the city center. The authorities have emphasized that this move is part of a broader strategy to improve traffic flow and enhance transportation facilities within the area.
The new location, Ngo Talatu Jang Motor Park, is strategically situated along the Bukuru Express Way, providing better accessibility and more space to accommodate the increasing number of commuters and vehicles. The relocation is expected to facilitate smoother transport operations and contribute to the overall development of Jos-South.
Speaking on the relocation, the Director of Transport in Plateau State, Mr. Samuel Mofat, highlighted the advantages of the new site. “Ngo Talatu Jang Motor Park offers a more modern and spacious environment that will significantly improve the efficiency of our transport services. We are committed to ensuring a seamless transition for all operators and passengers,” he said.
Local transport operators and commuters have expressed mixed reactions to the move. While some appreciate the improved facilities and potential for reduced congestion, others are concerned about the inconvenience and adjustment period associated with the relocation.
Efforts are being made to inform the public about the new location and to assist transport operators in transitioning to the Ngo Talatu Jang Motor Park. The government has assured residents that measures are in place to ensure minimal disruption during this period.
This move marks a new chapter in the urban development of Jos and reflects ongoing efforts to enhance the city’s infrastructure and services.
