The Anambra State government has recently suspended the tricycle (keke napep) and shuttle bus unions in the state, in an attempt to check the increasing insecurity occurrences in the state.
Chief Paul Nwosu, the Commissioner for Information in the State revealed this in a statement on Thursday in Awka. He went on to further add that the government’s action was as a result of the indictment of the unions’ members in the breakdown of law and order in the state.
Nwosu had also stressed on the fact that the leadership tussles in the unions were one of the major causes of conflicts in the state.
Nwosu had said: “In the light of the above, and in order to prevent a total breakdown of law and order, the state government hereby suspends all tricycle and shuttle bus unions with immediate effect for the next six months. The suspension will remain so until the investigations and harmonisation of the unions are completed.”
