The Ondo State Government has banned the activities of the National Union of Road transport workers and the Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigeria.
It was gathered that the order was not unconnected with the leadership crisis of the two unions and the recent increase in the transport fares across the state.
The Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Special Duties and Strategy, Dr Doyin Odebowale, announced the government decision on Monday, adding that the order was with immediate effect.
The governor’s aide 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.
