Oyo State Government has seized the activities of the state chapter’s  Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

This was stated by the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Chief Bisi Ilaka, while addressing newsmen at a press conference on Friday at the Governor’s Office.

The action followed alleged security breaches and factional clashes of the union members in some areas of Ibadan, the state capital.

He said: “After today’s deliberation with security stakeholders’ meeting, involving security chiefs and the government, we have resolved to proscribe the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) until further notice”.

The Chief of Staff added that: “All activities of the Union remain illegal henceforth and we urge the people of the state to go about their lawful duties without fear of molestation, as a combined security task force in every community of the state, have been charged to take control and maintain peace and order”.

Ilaka affirmed that all parks in the state from now on have been taken over by the state government.

CEOAfrica reported earlier on Thursday that six NURTW members were apprehended for creating scenes at motor parks between Wednesday and Thursday.

Ilaka thereby urged the people of the state to go about their lawful businesses.
