Lagos State Governor Jide Sanwo-Olu forms a 35-man caretaker committee

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered that all activities of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, RTEAN, in the state be suspended immediately.

Sola Giwa, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, announced the suspension on Thursday, saying it was necessary due to pockets of violence recorded in Ojo and Lagos Island on Wednesday, and that a 35-man Caretaker Committee has been formed to take over the union's activities going forward.

"In a bid to fulfill one of the cardinal objectives of the T.H.E.M.E.S developmental agenda of the present administration in Lagos State as it relates to Security and Good Governance, under Traffic Management and Transportation, the Lagos State Government has suspended all activities of RTEAN with immediate effect, Giwa stated.
