Embattled chairman of Lagos State Council of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya (aka MC Oluomo) has clarified the directive given to the union’s members to sell tickets at motor parks.
He said the tickets are the ones being issued by the state government at N800.
The state government, in January, introduced a daily N800 consolidated informal transport levy for transporters in the state.
Akinsanya said the union has no right to stop the selling of the tickets since they are for the state government.
“The permission is strictly for the Lagos State government tickets for consolidated transport levy, not union fee,” he said.
He urged to public to dismiss the misinformation on the social media.
Akinsanya appealed to journalists to verify information from the appropriate quarters before going to press.
