A group, Concerned Human Rights Nigeria (CHRN) yesterday hailed the Lagos State Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede for his matured leadership.
CHRN National Coordinator Comrade Declan Ihekaire at a briefing said there has been unassailable “reign of peace” in the conduct of the affairs of Lagos NURTW recently.
Ihekaire said: “We believe all Lagos residents recognise and appreciate the efforts of the current leadership. People do not witness perennial mourning of state chairmen of NURTW, violence, armed robberies and rape in the motor parks antmore.”
He condemned what he called a misleading report that the national secretariat of NURTW has dissolved all zonal and state executive councils. He said the report which was intended to cause confusion had been refuted by the union’s General Secretary, Comrade Element Wetkur.
According to him: “It was a sinister plot by some unpatriotic elements to cause chaos and confusion within the union when the tenure of the state executive has not lapsed. It was the figment of evil machination to spread the rumours that the Lagos Council has been dissolved when the current term of four years has not lapsed and when the constitution did not stop any state officer from holding national office simultaneously”.
