Sanwo-Olu Bans RTEAN In Lagos

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered the immediate ban of all activities of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), in the state.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa who made the announcement on Thursday, said the suspension has become necessary following pockets of violence witnessed in Ojo and Lagos Island on Wednesday, adding that a 35- Man Caretaker Committee has been set up to take over activities of the union forthwith.

“In a bid to fulfill one of the cardinal objectives of the T.H.E.M.E.S developmental agenda of the present administration in Lagos State as it relates to Security and Good Governance, under Traffic Management and Transportation, the Lagos State Government has suspended all activities of RTEAN with immediate effect,” Giwa stated.

Recall that three members of a rival group belonging to RTEAN, were feared dead while several others sustained injuries during a clash at Iyana-Iba, Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State on Wednesday.

Similar clashes bearing the same patterns of violence had occurred in Surulere between transport unions in the state.
