The Chairman of Agege Local Government Area in Lagos State, Abdul-Ganiyu Obasa, on Friday met with executives of the National Union of Road Transport Workers to discuss the ongoing All Progressives Congress digital membership registration exercise.
The meeting, which held at Pen-Cinema, was part of the local government chairman’s stakeholder consultations aimed at ensuring wide participation in the APC’s e-registration drive across Agege. Obasa urged the union’s leadership to mobilise its members for the exercise, emphasising its importance in promoting grassroots inclusion and strengthening internal party democracy.
He said the digital registration exercise would “strengthen party democracy, improve membership records, and deepen grassroots political inclusion.” Obasa described the NURTW as a critical grassroots structure with significant influence among transport operators and working-class residents within the local government area.
The council boss further called on the union’s leaders to sensitise their members across motor parks, garages and major transport corridors, noting that the APC’s adoption of digital registration reflected transparency, credibility and a modern approach to political organisation.
Responding, the Agege branch chairman of the NURTW, Tajudeen Balogun, commended Obasa for engaging the union and assured him of the union’s support for the exercise.
“We will mobilise our members and work closely with party officials to ensure smooth and successful registration,” he said.
