The Kwara State Government has announced the temporary closure of Harmony Transport Services Ltd (HTSL), commonly known as Kwara Express.
In a statement issued by Harmony Holdings, the government revealed on its Facebook page Thursday that it has commenced a comprehensive repositioning of the legacy company to enhance productivity, and efficiency, and contribute to economic development.
The government further stated that this restructuring includes the full payment of exit benefits to all employees of the distressed company, extending best wishes for their future endeavours.
Additionally, the government emphasized that the overhaul would modernize the company’s fleet and infrastructure, utilizing cutting-edge technology to improve operational efficiency and customer service.
Although the decision to pay off the workers was difficult, the government explained that it is crucial for creating a sustainable operational framework for HTSL.
The company has struggled with maintaining consistent growth and has faced multiple closures in recent years.
Recent customer feedback highlighted the need for improvements, leading to this decisive action.
“The Harmony Holdings Ltd assures that all exit entitlements of the staff are currently being settled, while their contributions to the company are sincerely appreciated. Those staff members interested in rejoining the company after the overhaul will have the opportunity to reapply.
“We acknowledge the inconvenience this temporary shutdown may cause to our valued customers and assure you that efforts are underway to minimize the duration of this service interruption.
“The general public can rest assured that all measures are being implemented to ensure a seamless transition during this crucial phase of the company’s evolution.”
