The National leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers on Friday rejected the Osun State Government’s suspension of the union’s activities.
The union insisted that the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, lacks the constitutional powers to halt its operations.
The union also inaugurated a seven-member caretaker committee to oversee its affairs in the state pending the resolution of the leadership crisis rocking the state chapter.
The committee, chaired by Kazeem Oyewale, popularly known as Asiri Eniba, was inaugurated at the union’s national headquarters in Garki, Abuja.
The development comes days after the state government suspended the activities of the NURTW in motor parks across the state following violent clashes between rival factions of the union.
The state government, through the Commissioner for Information, Kolapo Alimi, announced the suspension as part of efforts to restore order and strengthen public security.
It also suspended the collection of levies in motor parks
