The Lagos State council of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has been dissolved, with its Chairman, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo shown the way out.
This development was made public by the National Administrative Council of the Union through a statement titled ‘Dissolution of Lagos State Administrative Council’, jointly signed by its National President, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, and general secretary, Alhaji Kabiru Ado Ya’u.
The Central body of the NURTW hinged its decision on the provisions of the Union’s constitution.
The Union’s Secretary in Lagos State, Seyi Bankole, was subsequently announced as the new head of NURTW in Lagos.
“MC Oluomo has been sacked as Lagos chairman. We had a meeting last night. We have replaced him,” said the Union.
It would be recalled that MC Oluomo who had been in a running battle with the national body of the Union in Abuja, was earlier suspended for alleged insubordination.
NAC explained that MC Oluomo was granted a pardon after the mediation of the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and other leaders, but he refused to apologise.
“The National Administrative Council during its meeting of March 15, 2022, graciously passed a resolution to grant pardon to the suspended state chairman if he shows remorse and tenders unreserved apology to the union.
“However, up until this moment the suspended chairman has bluntly refused to do so; hence, the decision to take action against the Lagos State administrative council by dissolving same.
“The National administrative council in the exercise of the powers conferred on it by Article 17, Section 2 (i) and (ii) of the constitution of the union, during its meeting of April 5th, 2022, has dissolved the Lagos State administrative council forthwith.
“In view of the fact that nature abhors a vacuum and in line with Article 42, Section 4, the State Secretary, Seyi Bankole is hereby directed to take over the running of the affairs of Lagos State council pending the constitution of the caretaker committee after due consultations with appropriate relevant authorities. meanwhile, all members of the dissolved state administrative council are hereby directed to hand over all property of the Union, including cash to the State Secretary.
“On the strength of the above development, therefore, all members of the union in Lagos State and beyond, including members of the public are hereby kindly requested to henceforth stop dealing with members of the dissolved Lagos State administrative council on issues concerning the union,” the statement stated.
