Members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Lagos state chapter have disclosed their opposition to any violent protest in the state,warning those planning to embark on protest to quietly ensure that they protest without destroying any property of anybody or the state government
The union in a press release issued on friday signed by its Chairman Designate,Alhaji Mustapha Adio Adekunle commended the president for his laudable projects across the country and promised to continue to supoort him,stressing that the economic challenges will be a thing of the past with all initiatives put in place by the president
According to Alhaji Adekunle "we Say NO to any form of protest that will lead to destruction of lives and property in Lagos State.Sadly the tone of the faceless promoters of the said protest and their end goal is to change government, what they couldn’t do through the ballot box they intend to do through a protest laced with bitter politics.
The rot of many years can not be fixed in one year"
The transport unions equally appealed to those promoting the protest to shelve it and embrace dialogue as the President is a listening one, who is barely one year in office,but has initiated wonderful projects that will be enduring
Continuing"We appeal to peace loving Nigerians to be patient with the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who means well for the people of Nigeria from the various steps he has taken in recent times. Some of the demands of the agitators are already being dealt with. He has increased Minimum wage to Seventy Thousand Naira (70, 000), Introduced CNG Buses that will drastically reduce the cost of transportation,NURTW members are direct beneficiaries of this intervention.Truck loads of food items have been distributed to all the states"
Moreso" Direct palliative payment are being paid to the poorest of the poor in the society.
students loan has been introduced to help the children of the poor in the society to complete their higher education.
The president has given approval for the massive importation of food items to reduce the cost of food. Many more too numerous to mention"
"We are still pained by the destruction of lives and property especially BRT buses belonging to lagos state government and private operators like NURTW at Oyingbo during the end sars protest of 2020"
The NURTW stated that "Lagos state has given us a means of livelihood through the operation of transport services in the state.it is income from our transport services we have sent our children to school and made a decent living.Hence, we will protect all government and Public properties in Lagos"
They also promised to protect Lagos state by all means necessary as the state has been hub of businesses and a place to grow
"Lagos state is our heritage and we will protect it with our lives.Anyone who wishes for the destruction of Lagos state, will be vehemently resisted by the good people of Lagos State .And will regret ever nursing such a plan.
We say NO to Destruction of Lives and properties in Lagos"
"We stand with Bola Ahmed Tinubu in all the local governments and LCDA’s in Lagos.......
