Lagos Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, on Monday said the Lagos State Government is on the search for people who are familiar with the transport sector, to appoint as park managers following the suspension of the National Union of Road Transport Workers Union, NURTW, in the state.
In his words: “It (the NURTW crisis) came suddenly and it is not every time you can begin to appoint people but you have to look for people who are familiar with the sector, those are the kind of people you want to put in that position.”
The NURTW chapter in Lagos reportedly generates about N123bn annually, according to a 2021 report by the International Centre for Investigative Report.
A Peoples Democratic Party chieftain in Lagos, Taofik Gani, had urged Sanwo-Olu not to hand over the collection of transport levy to Alpha Beta Consulting.
Recall that the Sanwo-Olu government had on March 10, 2022, suspended all operations of NURTW in the state following the leadership crisis that engulfed the union and the subsequent withdrawal of Lagos NURTW Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo.
In a statement on March 10, 2022, titled, ‘Lagos Suspends NURTW From Parks’ and signed by Omotoso, the state government had said, “After considering the provisions of the law, the Government hereby suspends the activities of NURTW, which must cease to operate in all parks and garages in Lagos State.
“The Government will set up a Committee to immediately take control of the parks and garages. Members of the committee will be key stakeholders in the sector.”
Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, Temitope Adewale, had said, “The House is fully aware of developments in the transportation union and now that the crisis has resulted in the banning of NURTW activities in Lagos, it is clear to state that all parks, garages and parking activities will be under the Lagos State Parking Authority as stipulated by law.
“By law, the state’s Parking Authority has a General Manager on whose shoulders the responsibility now falls to manage the parks at the moment. The law approves a General Manager for the Parking Authority.”
