He stressed that the leadership tussles in the unions were among the major causes of conflicts in the state.
Nwosu said: “In the light of the above, and in order to forestall a total breakdown of law and order, the state government hereby suspends all tricycle and shuttle bus unions with immediate effect for six months.
“The suspension will remain until the investigations and harmonisation of the unions are completed.”
