PARKS IN PICTURES HERE IN MAKURDI - TRAVEL UPDATE FROM MY CITY || #CLUB5050 || 10% PAYOUT TO @STEEMALIVE

INTRODUCTION

Solidarity Greetings Y'all, it is with Joy that I participate in this Contest about "Parks in pictures".

I'm forever @thebeloved001 and I've been able to capture just one park in this contest. I use mostly this park for my travels especially from School (Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State) to Home (Makurdi, Benue State) and vice versa.

It's no doubt that we are in the season of traveling and the parks are our means of movement. I for one traveled a few days back from School in Minna, Niger State to Makurdi, Benue State See Post Here

BENUE LINKS NIG LTD

What3words

BENUE LINKS is Benue State's recognized Car Park that travelers use to their desired destination and use also when coming to Benue State.

It is situated just opp. a market called Wurukum Market here in Makurdi, Benue State along Makurdi-Gboko road.

The park is one of the biggest parks in the country having branches in some major cities in the country. The headquarters is located in the home state and is fully owned by the state government.

Such a big and wide park

The park is so busy especially during the early hours of the day break. People traveling to long distances like Lagos, Sokoto e.t.c have to be in the park as early as 6am to book a ticket so as to leave on time. Some people even get to spend the night at the park in other to avoid missing the first bus heading for their desired destination.

The park opens by 6am and a crowd of people progress to the Booking and Waiting lounge to book their tickets and wait for take off.

• The park also has a BOOKING AND WAITING LOUNGE, a building where you go to book for your tickets and wait till take take off.

This is the Booking and Waiting Lounge Complex

CONCLUSION

In Makurdi, Benue State are alot of parks but Benue Links is the state's recognized and official transportation park.

Three years ago my colleagues boarded a vehicle not from Benue Links all the way to Minna for POST UTME examination but were held at Mararaba, Nassarawa State by Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) for unregistered vehicle usage and they had to spend extra money to find another vehicle down to their location.

Benue Links is trusted and has kept things in order and in comfort. Engaging in this Contest has made me more conscious of traveling and travelers as such!!!
