The national Secretariat of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has dissolved its Lagos State administrative council headed by Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called MC Oluomo, who was recently suspended over misconduct and insubordination by the union at the national.
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 learnt, could not adopt another decision after all efforts to ensure that MC Oluomo and other members of the 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 Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and leaked to our correspondent 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, the union members resolved at about 3:30 am on Wednesday that Lagos council be dissolved immediately.
