Drivers have suspended their sit-down strike after a meeting with the nation’s top civil servant.
Noah Touray met with leaders of the country’s drivers at State House on Monday as a sit-down strike by the drivers caused travel chaos across the country.
High on the agenda of the summit was the number of passengers a commercial vehicle is allowed to carry under the state of emergency regulations.
A Gambia Transport Union official told The Fatu Network they have suspended their strike on the deal the government would agree to their demand to restore their vehicles to their normal numbers.
“There’s a taskforce that has been set up to look into our demands,” the official said.
A government source has told The Fatu Network the government has ‘agreed to allow’ the commercial vehicles return to their normal passenger numbers.
