The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Osun State Council, has challenged the constitutionality of the Osun State Integrated Transport, Traffic and Park Management System Law, 2026, before the Osun State High Court.
The union is also questioning the legality of directives allegedly issued against its leadership and members in connection with the proposed park management arrangement by the state government.
The legal action, registered as Suit No. HRE/28/2026, lists the Governor of Osun State and three others as defendants, with the NURTW and seven others as applicants.
Following the institution of the suit, the union formally notified security agencies in the state, urging them to respect the ongoing judicial process and prevent any breakdown of law and order.
The notification, signed by its legal representative, Idrees Abiodun Mikaheel of M&P Law Green Chambers, was addressed to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone XI, the Osun Commissioner of Police, the DSS Director and the NSCDC State Commandant.
The union urged the agencies to maintain peace across motor parks and garages and ensure that no individual or group resorts to self-help.
It also appealed against the implementation of any directive that could undermine its rights and lawful activities while the case remains pending.
The NURTW maintained that approaching the court was a demonstration of its commitment to resolving the disagreement through legal and constitutional means.
It called on its members, transport operators and other stakeholders to remain calm pending the court’s decision.
