The Executive Chairman of Obanliku Local Government, Hon. Chief Sunny Ayang JP, has purchased an additional new 18-seater bus for the Obanliku Riders, a transport service he initiated to support the local government’s economy and alleviate the financial burdens of the people of Obanliku.
On March 6, 2025, Hon. Sunny Ayang pledged to add another 18-seater bus to the existing fleet in response to increased patronage, which he observed during an inspection of the Obanliku Riders terminal at Mary Slessor, next to the NNPC fuel station in Calabar.
During the handover of the new bus to the Special Assistant on Transportation, Peter Ololo, and the Park Manager, Joseph Achung, at the Calabar terminal, Chief Sunny Ayang urged them to manage the vehicles responsibly for the greater good of the Obanliku local government. He emphasised that the buses are public property owned by the local government and should be well maintained for the benefit of future administrations.
Hon. Sunny Ayang also encouraged the drivers to conduct themselves properly and be diligent while on the road. He expressed appreciation to the passengers for their support and urged them to reach out to him regarding any misconduct by the transport management team or drivers.
The Executive Chairman reassured the people of Obanliku of his ongoing commitment to service and infrastructural development. He stated that the Obanliku Riders, part of his campaign promises, would help ease the financial strain on residents by reducing the fare from ₦18,000 to ₦12,000, and would also enhance the local government’s revenue.
Passengers at the terminal praised the Executive Chairman for his initiative to alleviate the economic burdens on the people of Obanliku and for bringing recognition to the local government through the establishment of the Obanliku Riders.
