TUC Protests In Lagos Over RTEAN Ban

The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has gone on a protest in Lagos over the ban on the operations of its affiliate union the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), by the state government.

Before 9 am, the union members converged at the meeting point in Ikeja for the one-day protest which they say will lead to the withdrawal of service.

Wearing their signature yellow outfits, they walked from the Lagos State Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) axis amid heavy security presence. They terminated the walk in Alausa.

According to the union, all affiliate bodies of TUC including the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, Association of Senior Staff of Banks, insurance and financial institutions among others are expected to join the action.
