From Ayobami Ife, Abeokuta
Hope of commencement of operations by the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Ogun state took a dimmer dimension on Friday with the State Parks and Garages Development Agency (PAGADA) debunking reports that it had granted the union permission to resume activities next week.
Chairman of the agency, Hon. Abeeb Ajayi, declared that the NURTW activities had been suspended in the state following protracted leadership crisis.
Ajayi, in a statement made available to The Daily Crucible said the appointment of Park Managers as revenue collectors by the state government has not been terminated.
He dismissed as "fake," the reports that PAGADA had given NURTW the mandate to collect revenue for government in the parks and garages in the state.
The PAGADA boss said the agency will not in interfere in the activities of the unions operating in the state.
Ajayi said: "The news going around that PAGADA has given the NURTW the mandate to collect revenue for the government in the parks and garages in Ogun State is fake.
"The suspension of the NURTW activities in the parks and garages as a result of leadership crisis in the State Chapter of the union has not been lifted. The Park Managers appointment as revenue collector has not been terminated.
"However, the Agency will not in interfere the activities of the unions operating in the State except where there is crisis that may lead to breakdown of law and order in our parks and garages."
