The Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) has pledged to transform the transport sector by eradicating thuggery in motor parks.
This commitment was made over the weekend by the President of RTEAN, Musa Maitakobi, in the wake of a leadership and policy training program attended by 17 members of the association at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) in Kuru Jos, Plateau state.
Maitakobi, who was also honored with the Nigeria Silent Heroes Award (NSHA) at the event, emphasized that the RTEAN constitution strongly condemns any form of thuggery and hooliganism.
He expressed optimism that the newly acquired leadership skills of its members will shift the public’s perception of road transport workers in Nigeria.
He further revealed that the impact of the leadership training was already being felt and that the trainees would replicate the training at their state chapters.
Maitakobi emphasized the peaceful disposition of RTEAN members, advising them to maintain law and order wherever they find themselves
