Court Annuls MC-Oluomo-led Park and Garages Committee, Reappoints RTEAN.
By Admin
The National Industrial Court has annulled the Lagos State government’s appointment of a Caretaker Committee, known as Parks and Garages Administrators and reinstated the service of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN).
RTEAN filed a lawsuit against the state government and others for suspending its operations, taking over garages and appointing an ad hoc body, known as the Parks and Garages Administrators.
The Lagos state government had argued before the presiding judge, Justice Maureen Esowe, that they did not violate the law nor dissolve the national body’s operations in the state, but they sought to maintain law and order by forming the ad-hoc committee when there was ruckus between the unions.

Justice Esowe however dismissed the defendants’ objections to the suit, saying the matter was clear and that the court has jurisdiction to hear and decide, with no serious dispute to warrant an exchange of pleadings.
