Fifteen days after Governor Seyi Makinde proscribed the Oyo state chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), national president of the union, Mr Najeem Yasin, on Friday, expressed optimism that the ban will be lifted in one week time. Yasin expressed this optimism while addressing journalists after a meeting held with Makinde and security chiefs at governor’s office, Ibadan. Yasin said he set for himself the one-week deadline to meet with the warring divides of the union to resolve the issues which was the prerequisite given by Governor Makinde to unban the NURTW. Within now and one week, we will work it out and immediately we give him assurance, it will be unbanned. “No one is above the law, we want peace and we have told the security agencies that no one can hold the state to ransom,” Yasin said.
