Long overdue....these tours are a huge eyesore to the beautiful state of Lagos.
These agberoes are horrible nuisance..


Now imagine that human being on ftc above ^^^^
What a shame!!!

There's no Yoruba man living in Lagos that doesn't know that the touts are Tinubu boys. Aside from traffic, those idiots are the biggest problem of Lagos. You dare not challenge them!

When Ambode wanted to clean up their mess with government-owned minibuses, Tinubu and co ganged up against him and removed him

Those boys are good for snatching ballot boxes and causing electoral violence. I am glad that some Yoruba elders have grown some balls to demand that the right thing be done.

Transportation Union are all over the world, why should Lagos be exceptional?

Reorganizing the union is not a bad thing but scraping is a No No

Now we all can see how abnormal this thing is.

So it's not limited to zombism, you are also an agbero?

Ndo!

Lagos as a mega city should have done away with the activities of NURTW for long.

It doesn’t befit Lagos having agberos scattered all over everywhere. The transportation in Lagos should be formal

This is moreorless the exact word a friend told me in his car on Friday evenning. Govt needs to stop using them for tax collection cuz last last, half of it ain't remitted....

NURTW is the most useless union in the whole world & contributing biggerly to accident we see on the roads (both highway & local roads)

These NURTW collects high levies from drivers without considering what will be drivers income at the end of the day. Let me use Oshodi as example, over 20 agbero will collect levies from just one driver & in return driver will transfer the aggression on innocent passenger by increasing transportation cost. Now, sometimes when they are trying to collect money by force from drivers it will leads to fight between driver & agbero of which while driver was trying to run away he might drive very tough thereby lead to accident.


Also, they do contribute greatly to most accidents we see on highway due to their excessive charges. Drivers are unable to maintain their vehicle properly due to excessive charges collected by NURTW thereby making the vehicle non road Worthy which in turn leads to accidents

These NURTW don't check veichle Tyre, numbers of passengers, engine conditions, because all they know is for driver to load their buses & they get paid. functions of NURTW is to always check each vehicles doing interstate transport every morning to know the vehicle is in good shape, check Tyre to know it's not expired or worn out, organize seminars for drivers from time to time but they don't do that except to collect money & bounce
You have said it all.

even me don't like them but their end will be a danger to the occupants of Lagos, their will be high level of insecurities


many of these men have wives and they don't have any vocational skills, how do you want them to feed if you takeaway their only source of livelihood? taking away their livelihood is equivalent to taking away Lagosians peace


they should be reformed and not discarded that would caused another huge securities budget

Are they going to also call for the scrap of Pengassan, Nubife, ASUU, NASU and all CDAs and CDCs? I don't get? Government is lacking in its own responsibility to properly regulate the Unions and you want it take it out on others, why? the same government officials find some of their members as a willing tool to unleash terror sometimes, because they have a lot of members the society have dealt badly with and they are happy to bring other people down to their own sad realities of life, not all of them though. NURTW as a union benefited our society a lot, sadly they have not embraced PR and effective Marketing to tell their own story, making other people to tell their story for them. Scrap which union? Do they realise how many people they will be throwing out of job? Should anybody contemplate that, I will advise their leadership to approach the court. Why not Scrap APC and PDP for the violence during electioneering campaigns and the huge embezzlement during their respective reigns? To me, this call amount to intellectual laziness, how can we regulate them better to reduce their nefarious activities without throwing away the gains from the union, should be what these concerned people be submitting not closing their own space. My take

Lagos should immediately reform activity of Nurtw like a modern state fee should be collected only in park just one one ticket in a day and can be use on mainland one ticket for island
70 percent revenue to direct government purse 30 percent to run the union and officers collecting should be paid salaries

Of all unions in Nigeria, NURTW is the most rugged and useless of them all .

They're are political tools for our politicians hence, it can never be scrapped and government doesn't want to regulate or checkmate their activities either.

Apparently they are useless cuz no form of contributions or benefits, neither can they channeled or propose the needs to repair bad roads or manage traffic.

I wish a representative or senator can raise this issue at the floor, what's their national role?

INEC should handle their logistics to distribute election materials to cut off ties with NURTW.

NURTW as a union benefited our society a lot..... Lemme learn about their benefits in your area. Much I remember some public bus drivers want them off the road. Their activities should be restricted to the park not at every B/stop. Don't miss up NURTW with Public Bus Drivers!

NURTW enjoys freedom of association like Nigerian Bar Association, National Union of Teachers... They are duly registered and can levy themselves as they deem fit


If the PDP group wants to end them as they did in Edo and Oyo State, then Hackney permits, LGA taxes can't be collected from them using different agency
