He urged union members to comply with approved payment schedules, noting that these contributions are vital for the state’s development. “The government is committed to ensuring business thrives while safeguarding your rights,” Ogbonna said.


In response, Mr. Chukwuma Azode, Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, expressed gratitude for the commissioner’s dedication to improving their welfare. He pledged the unions’ continued collaboration with the state government to sanitize and enhance Abia’s transport sector in alignment with Governor Otti’s vision and directives.


The meeting was attended by key stakeholders, including Dr. Obioma Nwaogbe, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Transport; Hon. Emmanuel Okpechi, Special Adviser to the Governor on Internally Generated Revenue; Comr. Boniface Oleka, State Director for Transport; and chairmen of various motor unions.
