Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has issued a stern warning to transport unions, including the Road Transport Workers Union of Nigeria (NURTW), Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), and Clearance Agents Association.

The governor noted that government will impose severe penalties, including jail terms on those that violate load restriction laws in the state.

Zulum served the warning in Maiduguri on Thursday during a meeting with the leadership of transport unions in the state at the council chamber of the government house.

The governor emphasized the importance of adhering to load restrictions as mandated by government’s transportation regulations. However, he announced that Borno State Government will send a bill to the State House of Assembly for the review of existing road and transportation laws to provide explicit and stern punishment.
