Why Anambra govt can't ban us - Tricycle owners - Daily Post Nigeria

Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria operating in Anambra State, has reacted to reported ban placed on it in the state.

“Our attention has been drawn to a report titled, ‘Anambra State Government bans tricycle union’ published across online media platforms on Friday, July 5, 2019. “Section 40 holds great significance, for it gives the labour, a constitutional right to associate freely. The Constitution further protects the workers’ rights not only to belong to but also to form a trade union. The 1999 Constitution expressly prohibits or bars a ‘closed shop’ agreement, ‘yellow dog’ contract, or any other arrangement that compels a worker to join a particular union or that excludes the worker from union membership or activities.

“In determining the above-stated question, whether a law is reasonably justifiable, the test required for any law restricting section 40 is an objective rather than subjective one and the standards include whether there is a grave risk of harm to a larger section of the community.

“For record purposes, we will like to state the true picture of the prevailing circumstances in Anambra State as follows: “4. The laudable programmes and objectives of the Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria are meant to restore sanity, probity, accountability, and further the interests and welfare of all employers and workers in the tricycle trade or industry operating in Anambra State.

“The court presided was over by Hon. Justice Venchak S. Gaba gave the order on Monday while ruling on the motion FCT/HC/M/7331/19 in respect of suit FCT/HC/CV/2268/19. It voided the collection of dues, levies or sales of tickets to tricycle workers by named touts and louts other than TOAN. This apparently miffed the tout-infested Anambra State Ministry of Transport.

“9. The Anambra State Commissioner for Transport further stated, apparently exposing his crass ignorance and lack of appreciation of the relevant laws of the Federation.
