Monday, February 19, 2024 - The Lagos State Government has lifted the ban on the activities of Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) in the State.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on
transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa, disclosed this on Monday, Feb. 19. He said that
the government took the decision after careful consideration and extensive
consultations with relevant stakeholders, including members of the association,
Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the general public.
Giwa stated that the Lagos State Parks and
Garages Administrators’ Committee, which was set up to manage parks and garage
facilities in the State, has been dissolved with immediate effect.
He explained that the decision was made in
the best interest of promoting unity and peaceful co-existence, ensuring the
smooth operation of transport services within the State as well as helping to
foster a more collaborative relationship between the government and the
transport union, ultimately leading to improved services for the public.
The Special Adviser urged all parties
involved to adhere strictly to the terms and conditions of the settlement
reached for peaceful and sustainable operations in the transportation
sector.
He also implored them to cooperate and work
together towards building a better transportation system to benefit all Lagos
State residents.
It would be recalled that the State
Government suspended the activities of RTEAN across the State in September,
2022 and constituted a Caretaker Committee to oversee the affairs of the union.
