• Threatens strike after seven-day ultimatum

The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Southwest on Tuesday urged Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to revert the proscription decision on the union’s activities in the state.

It issued a seven-day ultimatum to the government to also revert the appointment of ex-chairman of a faction of the union in the state, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, popularly known as Auxiliary, as the chairman, Disciplinary Committee for the motor parks.

The union threatened that NURTW will begin strike if the decision is not rescinded by the government

At a briefing at the zonal secretariat complex in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, the union accused the governor of “deliberate attempt to take away our means of livelihood.”

Those at the briefing included Southwest Zonal Chairman Mr. Olamilekan Folorunso, Deputy Chairman Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo, National Deputy General-Secretary and Chairman, Caretaker Committee Oyo State chapter, Comrade Kayode Agbeyangi and a Zonal Trustee, Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle aka Sego.

The speech was read by Agbeyangi.

According to them, NURTW is a trade union recognised by the constitution and extant provision of labour laws.

They described the interference as undue and a violation of members’ freedom of operating as a union.

The union urged the government to stop interfering in the affairs of the union and allow the NURTW to carry out its legitimate duties.

Agbeyangi condemned Governor Seyi Makinde’s imposition of park managers to run the operations of the union at parks.

He also accused the governor of acting the script of some individuals to truncate the activities of the union and arrest its leaders.

Agbeyangi alleged: “It has come to the notice of our union that the governor in cahoots with an expelled member, “Auxiliary”, has been planning and making a clandestine move to arrest our leaders for state-sponsored killings of individuals, thereby taking them out of circulation.

“We are hereby using this medium to ask the government to stop undue and unwarranted interference in the affairs of the union. It should allow the NURTW to carry out its legitimate duties without let or hindrance.”

He stressed that the government should allow the activities of the union.

“The governor should kindly allow the activities of the union in the state and rescind the introduction of the park management scheme within one week, to save thousands of our members and their families from hardship,” Agbeyangi said.

Power struggles..... South West in disarray!

I knew his employment of auxiliary will never augur well with some people

NURTW... The craziest job in Nigeria... Those Agberos and their chairman can decide to beat a driver or deflate his tyres...
As far as I'm concerned.. They should get a real job or should all be in prison

Going on strike would be the best thing sef... Yeye

The Audacity of NURTW.

“The governor should kindly allow the activities of the union in the state and rescind the introduction of the park management scheme within one week, to save thousands of our members and their families from hardship,”


So if park management scheme is introduced and "thousands" of your members are gainfully employed under the new scheme to act responsibly while collecting taxes for government their hardship won't end?

Makinde needs to be careful of distractions. A lot of his decisions nowadays are generating distractions for his administration and making him lose focus of governance.

If NURTW goes on strike, isn't that a good riddance of them?

Who enjoys their presence anyway?

Ok, some of this unions are not relevant to modern ways of the world today and should be scrapped, imagine Agboro union but it is not within the power of an individual even a governor to do it, the union is recognized and legal, except the legal aspect of it is exponged from the laws of the land, what the govt is doing is exercise in fruitility....

Bunch of thieves
They want to be operating without government oversight.
They should go to Lagos, we have released the state to touts as burnt offering for the entire southwest.
Nonsense

Aw

Rogues parading our highways

Thank God this is not happening in Lagos state, cos NURTW is the god-father of Lag govt

Anything for Oyo State to move forward is what we are after.

Agbeyangi alleged: “It has come to the notice of our union that the governor in cahoots with an expelled member, “Auxiliary”, has been planning and making a clandestine move to arrest our leaders for state-sponsored killings of individuals, thereby taking them out of circulation.

“We are hereby using this medium to ask the government to stop undue and unwarranted interference in the affairs of the union. It should allow the NURTW to carry out its legitimate duties without let or hindrance.”

Seyi should be wise in his dealings.
Oyo indigenes have put their trust in him by voting for him MASSIVELY.

God bless Oyo state.

God bless Nigeria.

Apc @ work

The Government would win this of course. These guys knew if this is successfully done in OYO and IGR is drastically increased, other states would likely follow pattern.....
They are clamouring for themselves, not any member.

Who owns and built the parks?

Has the government told them not to go about their regular and normal business of conveying passengers?

Which one is park management scheme again What does it states?

So, those guys are hungry already. They have fed fat for years on the hard-working drivers and used the proceeds to oppress everyone in the society. Worse still, the NURTW have not been known to help the poor drivers whenever they are out of work due to mechanical problems with their vehicles but they become their instant preys once they are back on the roads after struggling to repair their vehicles.

Issokay... Watching in 3D

Oga Makinde
Ride On
Dont listen to these criminals.
Sanitize your state and be rid of Jagaban's stooges.
They will ruin your government like they have ruined Lagos.
Arrest anybody wey do fimm....

You are the Governor
Your word is Law
No shaking
Thunder fire alladem OPC and Jagaban stooges.
