The Ondo State Government has suspended the activities of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) citing “protracted crisis.”

A park management committee has consequently been appointed to man all motor parks in the state.

“Consequent upon protracted crisis in the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) operating in the Public Motor Parks in Ondo State, the Government has intervened by setting up MOTOR PARK MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE to manage and administer all the Public Motor Parks in the State.
