Lagos lifts ban on NURTW after MC Oluomo rejoins group

 

 

Musliu Akinsanya, the man running Lagos Motor Parks and Garages (LASPG), has rejoined the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

In what appears to be a reaction to Oluomo’s decision, the Lagos State Government also lifted the ban on NURTW.

Recall that after the national leadership of NURTW suspended MC Oluomo who was then Lagos branch chairman last year, the Lagos government immediately proscribed the union and set up LASPG. It also appointed Oluomo as chairman.

Now that the national body of NURTW has recalled MC Oluomo back to its midst, the Lagos State Government said it is lifting the ban on NURTW too.

It also announced dissolving LASPG to allow only NURTW coordinate motor parks and garages activities in the state.

 

The decision to dissolve the LASPG was approved by the State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who was said to have instructed the Ministry of Transportation to dissolve the committee and return the NURTW.

 

The Transport Permanent Secretary also lauded the executives of the Lagos State Parks and Garages Committee for holding forth while urging the union to maintain peace and operate within the ambit of their constitution as they commence transition back to NURTW.

The Lagos State Government, Former National President of the Union and Chairman Transition Committee, Najeem Yasin, applauded the efforts of the state government and the ministry in the resolution process.

At the union headquarters in Lagos, formal re-introduction into the union was done to absorb the Lagos State Parks and Garages back into NURTW.
