Several Commuters were stranded on Monday as commercial bus drivers commenced a seven-day strike, in Lagos State.
CEOAFRICA had reported that that the commercial drivers under the umbrella of the Joint Drivers Welfare Association of Nigeria (JDWAN), had declared a 7-day boycott of transport services in protest against arbitrary levies imposed on members by the State Government.
According to the Association, the seven-day boycott will start on today (Monday) and end on November 6, 2022.
In a statement issued and signed by its National Leader, Akintade Abiodun, on Sunday, the Association lamented payment of illegal fees and collection of high levies from their members by government officials, which they said had increased the cost of living in Lagos.
