Members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers Union (NURTW) in Lagos are to stop issuing NURTW tickets to motorists, a spokesman for the suspended chairman Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo has said.
The move followed the suspension of the union by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu last week.
MC Oluomo’s spokesman Jimoh Buhari told PUNCH on Monday that his principal directed all former members of the NURTW in the state to stop issuing the tickets of the organisation to commercial bus operators.
He said, “Following our withdrawal from the national body, chairman (Akinsanya) has ordered all our men at parks and bus stops to stop issuing NURTW tickets to commercial bus operators.
“They are only allowed to issue the N800 daily ticket introduced by the Lagos State Government in February. We were given that of February and that of March. That of March hasn’t finished before the crisis started. It is not a hidden thing, the government also issued the N800 ticket to other unions in the state including Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria and the Motorcycle Operators’ Association of Lagos State.”
