Ogun Transport Union requests loans and the return of daily tickets
The Ogun State chapter of the Union of Tipper and Quarry Employers of Nigeria has asked the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, to grant loans and purchase trucks for its members as part of an empowerment programme.
The union also urged the governor to reinstate daily ticketing as a means of raising funds for the union.
In a statement signed by its state chairman, Taiwo Oyeneye, the transport association congratulated the governor on his re-election.
In the statement, Oyeneye urged the state government to implement an open-door policy that would create a welcoming environment for truck drivers and employers in the state.
While praising Gov. Dapo Abiodun’s reelection in the recently concluded governorship election, he said it was an expression of the people’s will.
The union chairman, who also serves as the Baale of Oluwo Onikolobo in Abeokuta, stated that the victory was well deserved in light of Abiodun’s administration’s positive impact on the lives of the people of the state.
He pleaded with the governor, however, to be gracious in victory, adding that the people of Ogun State should expect more historic projects.
“The transport union, which has thousands of members across the state, maintains that Abiodun’s re-election was divine and promises to give his administration full support,” Oyeneye said.
“This congratulatory statement was issued following our general meeting and signed by the entire house.”
“We hereby thank the Secretary to the Government of Ogun State, Tokunbo Talabi, for his open-door policy.” “We also want to thank the party’s State Secretary, Prince Adeleke Aderibigbe Tella, for giving us a second chance and always being there for us whenever our Union requires the assistance of the state government,” he said.
