Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has been appointed as the acting South West chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

The union leadership made the unanimous appointment on Thursday during the Zonal Conference held at Zone 2 Council Secretariat in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.

The leadership of the union announced Akinsanya as acting chairman of the zone pending the time when the election would be held later this month.

The union pleaded with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to reinstate the activities of NURTW in their states.

According to the NURTW leadership, the reinstatement would afford the zone the opportunity to nominate candidates for the national president of the union zoned to South West.

Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo, has announced his return to the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

This followed the lifting of his suspension and other members in the South-West by the factional President of the body, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede.

Speaking at an event on Thursday, Akinsanya lauded the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his support towards the union during the ‘trying periods’ while describing the transition as a new dawn in the organisation to its “original home”.

The popular transport leader was in April 2022 suspended by the NURTW in the peak of the crisis with the President, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, while he was immediately appointed by the state governor as the Chairman of Parks Management Committee.

A year and four months, Oluomo said yesterday he was back home, while thanking the governor for his support.

He reiterated the Union’s commitment towards supporting the THEMES agenda of the Lagos State governor and also ensuring uniting all members irrespective of affiliations.

He said, “As we transcend from Lagos State Parks and Garages to NURTW. The revamped NURTW (both at the National Level and State Level in Lagos Sate) will not rest in our oars to support the Themes agenda of His Excellency in Lagos State. As we all aware that in the Themes agenda, T represents Transportation. We are therefore using this medium to reiterate our full corporation to all the giant strides of His Excellency in the Transportation Sector in Lagos State.

“As it is being opined that “Unity is “progress” the Alhaji Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya led Lagos NURTW is geared towards uniting all members irrespective of affiliations. While also using this medium to embrace all Union members hitherto outside to come home and by the grace of God, they will be adequately inculcated back into the mainstream Lagos NURTW.”

The National Union of Road Transport Workers, (NURTW) has lifted the suspension of the chairman of the Lagos chapter of the union, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo.

Recall that MC Oluomo was suspended in March 2023 over alleged misconduct, insubordination and incitement.

MC Oluomo was accused of planning to instigate mayhem in the union branches in Lagos who failed to obey his instructions.

In a recent letter, however, addressed to MC Oluomo, the general secretary of the union, Kayode Agbeyangi, said the decision to lift the suspension on the Lagos chapter chairman was taken during the union’s emergency central working committee meeting (CWC) on August 31.

“I am directed to notify you that your suspension from office as the Lagos state chairman of our great union is hereby lifted with effect from today, 1st of September, 2023,” Agbeyanji said.

“The above decision was taken during an emergency Central Working Committee meeting (CWC) of the union dated 31st August 2023 at the NURTW National Secretariat office complex, plot 1236 Sapele Street Garki II, Abuja.

“While thanking you for your cooperation and understanding, please accept the renewed assurance of our highest regards,” the NURTW letter read.
