TOOAN Members to Stage Peaceful Protest Over NURTW “Extortion” Claims

TOOAN Members to Stage Peaceful Protest Over NURTW “Extortion” Claims

Aggrieved members of the Tricycle Owners and Operators Association of Nigeria (TOOAN) have declared April 28, 2026, as a day of peaceful protest against alleged mismanagement and extortion within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). They trace deep-rooted problems to decisions made under past zonal chairmen in Lagos, accusing the leadership of entrenching inequality, weakening accountability, and pushing thousands of operators to the brink. The protesters demand full transparency, independent investigations by anti-corruption agencies, and a complete overhaul of union structures. They insist their movement will remain peaceful but unwavering in seeking justice. On April 28, they vow to reject any system that rewards a few at the expense of many and to hold NURTW leaders fully accountable.

Yes o! Simple street banners, market flyers, small community meet-ups and chanting solidarity slogans will boost visibility and keep things peaceful yet lively.

It's concerning that allegations of extortion are only coming to light now despite long-standing frustrations with NURTW leadership.

Protests might draw attention, but without parallel dialogue or structural reforms, this demonstration risks becoming another momentary headline.

Organisers should document every demand clearly and assign marshals to liaise with authorities. This ensures accountability and minimizes misunderstandings on protest day.
