NURTW reinstates MC Oluomo months after Suspension

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

This decision comes after a period of suspension that began in March 2023, citing allegations of misconduct, insubordination, and incitement against MC Oluomo.

The accusations against Oluomo included claims that he was planning to incite unrest within the union branches in Lagos, targeting those who failed to comply with his directives. This led to his suspension earlier this year.

However, in a recent development, the general secretary of the NURTW, Kayode Agbeyangi, addressed a letter to Oluomo, officially announcing the decision to reinstate him as the Lagos state chairman.

According to the letter, this decision was reached during an emergency Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting held on August 31, 2023, at the NURTW National Secretariat office complex in Abuja.

The letter from Agbeyangi stated,

“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.”

It further expressed gratitude to MC Oluomo for his cooperation and understanding throughout this period of suspension.
