RTEAN won’t agree to extortion of its members, says president

THERoad Transport Employers Association of Nigeria ( RTEAN) has insisted that it will not agree with the alleged extortions of its members by the Lagos State government through its constituted caretaker committee for the association.

RTEAN’S Executive National President, Alhaji Musa Mohammed, who stated this while speaking with newsmen in Lagos, yesterday, said members would not pay any levy to the caretaker committee, describing the committee’s activities as “illegal.”

Mohammed, who alleged that RTEAN members had been compelled to buy union’s tickets despite suspension of operations, urged all members not to take any union money to the Oba or the state government because it was not their right.
