MC Oluomo: Lagos suspends NURTW activities

Lagos State government has suspended the National Union of Road Transport Workers Union (NURTW) from operating at motor parks and garages in the state.

This comes after the national leadership of the union, on Thursday morning, March 10, suspended the chairman of the Lagos State chapter, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, over alleged insubordination, among others.

“After considering the provisions of the law, the Government hereby suspends the activities of NURTW, which must cease to operate in all parks and garages in Lagos State.

The Government will set up a committee to immediately take control of the parks and garages. Members of the committee will be key stakeholders in the sector.

There is an urgent need to douse the unnecessary tension generated by the leadership tussle in the NURTW and protect the citizenry from the likely fallout of the situation,” Commissioner for information, Gbenga Omotoso, said in a statement on Thursday night.
