Association of Imo State Commercial Drivers, AISCD, has called on Governor Emeka Ihedioha to develop Modern Motor Parks in the state in order to decongest traffic on the roads while stressing how appalling the proliferation of illegal motor parks has liter the state and disrupting free movement for over eight years which results to crisis.
