RTEAN moves to rid motor parks of thugs

The Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) has vowed to reform the transport sector and tackle all forms of thuggery around motor parks.

President of RTEAN, Musa Maitakobi, stated this shortly after presenting certificates of attendance to 17 members of the association, who completed a strategic leadership, ethics and policy making training at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), in Jos, the Plateau State capital.

According to a statement sent to Daily Trust Saturday yesterday, Maitakobi was also presented with the Nigeria Silent Heroes Award (NSHA).

While noting that RTEAN’s constitution frowns at any kind of thuggery and hooliganism, Maitakobi said the leadership training acquired would change the perception Nigerians have about road transport workers.

“Initially, the public see us as touts and hooligans but our constitution mandates us to eradicate touts and hooliganism in motor parks. This also shows that our members are educated because we couldn’t have been able to approach NIPSS if we were uneducated,” he said.

On his part, RTEAN Kaduna State chairman and Vice President, North West, Adamu Jalaludeen, said the association is taking its rightful position among labour unions.
