The Lagos State Government said it was already looking into the demands of the Joint Drivers Welfare Association of Nigeria (JDWAN) with a view to finding permanent solutions to the issues raised by the Association.
The move became necessary following the planned seven-day work boycott by the drivers over alleged “harassment and extortion by motor parks and garages management”.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation Mr Sola Giwa said despite its non-affiliation to any transport unions known to the government, the Ministry had on Friday, October 28, 2022, met with the JDWAN leadership, following its notice to embark on a seven-day strike starting from Monday.
Most of the union members at the meeting were from the Badagry axis and it was resolved that the meeting be adjourned till November 2 to have a larger house (the Unions inclusive) and resolve the matter amicably.
