Ondo state government has suspended the activities of the
National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport
Employees Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) with immediate effect.
The government has also directed taxi drivers to revert to
the old rate of N50 per drop.
Doyin Odebowale, senior special assistant to the governor on
special duties and strategy, made the announcement while addressing journalists
on Monday in Akure.
Odebowale attributed the suspension to the recent crisis
within the unions over leadership tussles.
He directed the leadership of both NURTW and RTEAN to vacate
motor parks across the 18 local government areas of the state and to stop
collecting money from taxi drivers and other motorists.
Odebowale, who also directed taxi drivers to revert to the
old price of N50, explained that new tickets will be purchased directly from
the government.
He said every attempt to make life difficult for the masses
would be restricted, adding that security agencies had been notified to effect
timely arrest and prosecution of the defaulters.
