By Shina Abubakar, Osogbo

The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Osun State chapter, has constituted caretaker management committees to oversee the affairs of transport unions across the state following the leadership crisis in the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

The development follows the suspension of the activities of transport unions in public motor parks across the state after a dispute within the NURTW led to violence.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Osun State ALGON Chairman, Samuel Idowu, said the suspension of transport union activities and the existing NURTW leadership would remain in force pending further review.
