Ticket sellers and road transport revenue collectors have disappeared from major junctions in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, after the state government
This is even as the Abia State Chairman of National Union Road Transport Workers, Eugene Eze Job, has advised all road transport revenue collectors in the State to obey the recent directive of Governor Alex Otti on the matter.
He advised all transport union workers to restrict their activities to motor parks, as anyone caught disobeying the government’s orders would have himself to blame. At Isi Gate junction, which is the busiest part of Umuahia, the usual clash between tricycle operators and ticket sellers was not experienced as the revenue agents stayed away from the roads for fear of being arrested by security agents.At Abia Tower by Bende Road junction, the situation was the same as the usual presence of the suspended agents was not felt, to the relief of commercial transporters.
