The Executive Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has proscribed the activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) from all motor parks in the state.
WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that both unions were warned to stop collecting dues and levies from commercial drivers in the state.
