The Lagos State Government has set up a 25-man committee to oversee the affairs of all motor parks and garages in the State.
A media statement from the state government and signed by the Commissioner for Information & Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho, said the constitution of the committee was in consonance with the government’s resolve to avert the threat to peace, safety and security of lives and properties that the impasse between the Lagos state chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, and the national body in Abuja was brewing.
