Governor Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke of Osun State has banned all activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in motor parks across the state.

He issued the directive Thursday 23 July2026 after a meeting of the State Security Council.

Via a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment Kolapo Alimi, the governor also ordered security agencies to arrest anyone parading as an official or executive of the union.

According to the statement, the purpose of the ban is to restore sanity to parks and stop the collection of levies.

The ban comes in the wake of violent clashes among rival union members over the control of motor parks in Osogbo, the state capital.

Oil dey your head

Story for the Gods...
Nurtw cant be banned in any state in Nigeria.

Smart move from the dancing governor

Apc is banking on the NURTW touts to rig the forthcoming election in Osun state.

But why is that?

Is there a law that prohibits such an action?

Adeleke has done very well..

Ban the Agbero union who APC are planning to use for election rigging fron your state and put your men in charge.

Call them Osun Park Management Scheme or something..

Lagos did it in 2023 thereabout when MC Oluomo was in Lagos and fell out with the national NURTW body in Abuja.

Oluomo got Sanwo-olu to ban NURTW in Lagos after the court removed him (MC Oluomo) as Lagos Chairman of the union. They banned NURTW, and formed Lagos Parks and Garages management Union.

After Tinubu won, he moved to Abuja to violently take over the National office of NURTW. Sanwo-Olu dissolved the Lagos Parks and Garages union and unbanned NURTW.

If Sanwo-olu can ban NURTW in Lagos to favour Oluomo, why is Oluomo crying now that Gov Adeleke has done the same in Osun?

I wonder if Nigerians have collective amnesia, this stuff happened just few years ago na. Abi na juju politicians dey use wipe una brain, make una no dey remember important past events?

Adeleke no gree o. Ban them, no let them breath.

We shouldn't allow all these political thugs to dictate how we run the country. A common agbero dictating for the constituted authority. What a country..
