Ogun TOAN flies high on Workers’ Day, tasks Amosun on revenue generation

As workers all over the world celebrates International Workers’ Day, on May 1, the Tricycle Owners’ Association of Nigeria (TOAN), Ogun State Chapter, an affiliate of TUC, joined their counterparts from other sectors and professions to match before the executive governor of Ogun State, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun, who stood several minutes to receive salutations from workers in the formal and informal sectors of the state.

In his address to the teeming workers present at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Kuto, Abeokuta, Amosun used the occasion to implore workers to rededicate themselves to their duty and continue to support the efforts of his administration towards rebuilding the Gateway state.

Governor Amosun also announced the pardon of three out of remaining four workers earlier dismissed for alleged disregard of the civil service rules. Also in his address at the May Day celebration, Ogun State Chairman, Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria, (TOAN) Comrade Tirimisiyu Muraina, urged the governor to look into the various ills being perpetrated by those in charge of the transport sector of Ogun State as he suggests the sector needs proper monitoring for more revenue generation.

“Those serving as agent of the state government are the one milking most resources in the sector, the governor needs to do an overhaul of the transport sector for more revenue generation. The corruption in the Ogun state transport sector is alarming that’s why the sector have a lot of litigations in various courts within and outside the state.”

We need to support His Excellency Sen. Ibikunle Amosun in his quest to rebuilding the Gateway state, so few people should not be seen using the governor’s name in carrying out unlawful activities to destabilize the transport sector that can serve as economic hub and revenue base of the government they claim to be serving, when government needs money to fund various developmental projects embarked upon across the state for collective benefit.” Trimisiyu concluded.
