He hailed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for tackling the pandemic and ensuring that it was being eliminated.
Mojola urged members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) to utilise the advantage of the training and ensure the pandemic is eradicated.
The Chairman of NURTW, Lagos State chapter, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, enjoined members to complement the efforts of the government by obeying safety precautions on COVID-19 such as maintaining physical distancing in their vehicles, daily fumigation of such vehicles, compulsory wearing of face masks and positioning of hand washing equipment at strategic places in their motor parks.
