The National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, has dissolved its Lagos State administrative council formerly headed by Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo.
Recall that MC Oluomo was recently suspended over misconduct and insubordination by the union at the national level.
The action also brought an end to MC Oluomo’s administration, just as the union directed the State Secretary, Seyi Bankole, to take over the administration to avoid a leadership vacuum in the State.

It said that the decision to dissolve the state’s administrative council was reached after it became obvious that members of the council were ready to assume the leadership vacuum that trailed the indefinite suspension of MC Oluomo over his alleged misconduct and other actions that were at variance with the NURTW constitution.
The national body of the transport union, it was learned, could not adopt another decision after all efforts to ensure that MC Oluomo and other members council backtrack on their previous stance of leaving NURTW completely recently.
Dissolution of the Lagos administrative council was seen in a document made after a meeting at the national headquarters in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and leaked to newsmen after its completion and signing.
Sources at the meeting disclosed that the National administrative council, after several minutes of deliberation with back and forth arguments, resolved at about 3:30 am on Wednesday that the Lagos council be dissolved immediately.
MC Oluomo took over as the Chairman in September 2019, promising to take the NURTW to a higher pedestal.
