The Lagos State Government has set up a committee to oversee the affairs of all motor parks and garages in the State.
This was contained in a statement signed by Gbenga Omotoso, Commissioner for Information and Strategy.
According to him, this is in fulfillment of the Government’s promise to ensure that events in the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) are not allowed to threaten law and order.
