MC Oluomo: Lagos Assembly States Position On NURTW Crisis

The Lagos State House of Assembly has backed the state government’s position to suspend the activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

The Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, Hon. Temitope Adewale made the position of the Assembly known in a statement on Friday.

Adewale stated that the suspension of the NURTW activities in the state is the best action taken to douse the tension from the crisis rocking the union, adding that there is no contention over the state government’s decision.

The lawmaker said the assembly has already made a law creating the Lagos State Parking Authority, which should now oversee activities at all the parks in the State.

Adewale noted that the LSPA has a General Manager on whose shoulders the responsibility now falls to manage the parks at the moment.

He said: “It is clear to state that all parks, garages and parking activities would be under the Lagos State Parking Authority as stipulated by law.

“The law approves a General Manager for the Parking Authority.

“Lagosians should be calm. The situation is under control as the government takes necessary action.”

Meanwhile, the Lagos State government has denied appointing Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, as the Managing Director of Lagos State Transportation Parks and Garages Management Committee.

This is coming after one of the sons of the former Lagos NURTW council chairman, identified on Instagram as King-west, took to the platform to congratulate his father on his new appointment.

He wrote; “Congratulations boss, Alh. King Musillu Akinsanya Ayinde The GM/MD Lagos state Transportation, Parks and Garages Management Committee.. Oye Amori OOOO”

When Naija News contacted the Chief Press Secretary to the Lagos State governor, Gboyega Akosile, he said the news is false and should be discarded.

He added that MC Oluomo’s son does not work for the government, so he can’t speak for it.

Akosile said; “MC Oluomo’s son doesn’t work for the government and so can’t be quoted as speaking for us on the matter. There’s no such thing as that”
