The Chairman also solicited the support of the State Government in resolving the litigation on the land allocated to it for use as a depot by previous administration, adding that the land is of major value to the transport company.
In his response, the Commissioner averred that there are several areas of collaboration open to the NLC which should be explored.
He promised to facilitate the quick resolution of issues raised, adding that the State will continue to partner with Labour in the overall interest of Lagos state.
