The Ogun State Government has issued a stern warning to members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), cautioning them against actions that could lead to a breakdown of law and order. This warning follows reports of a planned protest by some NURTW members in Ijebu Ode, who are opposing decisions made by the union’s leadership in the state.
Commissioner of Transportation, Gbenga Dairo, warned over the weekend that if any attempt is made to disrupt public peace, the government will restrict the union’s activities in public areas. He emphasized that the administration, led by Governor Dapo Abiodun, is committed to maintaining the peace that has been carefully preserved in the state.
The government’s statement reiterated that NURTW members are obligated to operate within the law and resolve disputes through the union’s constitutional processes. The statement also reminded all stakeholders that parks and garages are public assets, and any threat to public safety will result in restrictions on union activities in these spaces to protect lives and property.
