NURTW Sacks MC Oluomo As Lagos Chapter Got Dissolved

The Lagos State council of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, led by Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, well known as MC Oluomo, has been dissolved.

The union's National Administrative Council announced the dissolution in a statement signed by its national president, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, and general secretary, Alhaji Kabiru Ado Ya'u, and captioned "Dissolution of Lagos State Administrative Council."

The union stated that the decision was made in accordance with the union's constitution.

Seyi Bankole, the union's secretary in Lagos State, was later named the new head of NURTW in Lagos.

"MC Oluomo, the Lagos chairman, has been fired. Last night, we had a meeting. "We've replaced him," a union national officer told The PUNCH.

"It holds no ground," Oluomo said when asked about his prior withdrawal from the union. That's something we can't allow."

According to the PUNCH, the NURTW in Lagos is experiencing a leadership conflict, which resulted in MC Oluomo and his followers leaving the union on March 10.

MC Oluomo, who had been in a long-running feud with the union's national headquarters in Abuja, had previously been suspended for alleged insubordination.

MC Oluomo was granted a pardon when the Nigeria Labour Congress and other leaders intervened, according to NAC, but he refused to apologize.
