Determined to eradicate thuggery at various bus stations, Alhaji Taofeek Oyerinde,  Caretaker Committee Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) at the weekend, flagged off a campaign tagged: War Against Thuggery at motor parks in the state.

While performing the ceremony at the NURTW State Secretariat, Olomi, Ibadan Alhaji Oyerinde announced that the crusade would taken to the nooks and crannies of the state in the next few weeks, just as he warned self-seeking politicians who didn’t want peace in Oyo State to steer clear of the union.

The War Against Thuggery at Motor Parks Campaign is being handled by the Oyo NURTW in collaboration with a team of corporate management consultants. Assisted by the 13 other Caretaker Committee members and Elders of the Union drawn from the 33 local government Areas of the state, Oyerinde maintained that the era of thuggery and hooliganism among members of the transport workers union was gone for good, adding that no stone would be left unturned to make the campaign a total success.

He disclosed that Oyo NURTW was currently undergoing a re-branding process, while emphasizing that it is now mandatory under the new regime for commercial drivers in the state to comply with the dress code being worked out.

This, he said, was aimed at portraying the transport members as responsible gentlemen. He declared: “It is now a serious offence for Oyo NURTW members to engage in the consumption of illicit drinks otherwise known as ‘paraga’ or such other dangerous intoxicants while on the steering wheel.”

He then implored the various branch and unit heads to fully embrace the campaign and carry the crusade to the grassroots, to make it effective in their respective motor parks.
