The Lagos State Government has lifted the ban on the activities of Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) in the State, in a quest to foster peace and smooth working relationship among union members in its transportation sector. 

The Special Adviser to the Governor on transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa today said the government took the decision after extensive consultations with relevant Stakeholders and the general public.

Giwa further stated that the Lagos State Parks and Garages Administrators’ Committee which was set up to manage “parks and garage facilities” in the State has been dissolved with immediate effect in the interest of promoting unity and peaceful co-existence, between the government and the transport union.

It would be recalled that the State Government suspended the activities of RTEAN across the State in September, 2022 and constituted a Caretaker Committee to oversee the affairs of the Union.
