“Despite the current situation of things,” he noted, “our members continue to demonstrate discipline, resilience and an enduring hope for a better future.”

He also used the occasion to commend the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, for what he described as a proactive and inclusive approach to transport policy.

He reaffirmed the association’s commitment to responsible unionism, peacebuilding and professionalism within the sector, emphasizing AMORAN’s readiness to support policies that enhance the wellbeing of its members and the general public.

As the statement concluded, Sokoya extended his solidarity to all Nigerian workers, reiterating that the strength of the nation lies in the hands of those who toil daily to build it.
