The special adviser urged all parties involved to adhere strictly to the terms and conditions of the settlement reached and also implored them to cooperate and work together toward building a better transportation system to benefit all Lagos state residents.

The state government had earlier suspended activities of RTEAN on September, 2022 and constituted a caretaker committee to oversee affairs of the union.
