Lagos State chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Mr. Musiliu Akinsanya (MC Oluomo), has come under fire from the national headquarters of the union.
The NURTW has queried MC Oluomo over misconduct including insubordination, intimidation, harassment, assault and anti-union activities.
In a query dated February 14 and signed by the NURTW General Secretary, Mr. Kabiru Yau, MC Oluomo was mandated to implement the headquarters’ directives or be dealt with.
The union decried the assault on Alhaji Azeez Abiola, the chairman of Lagos State NURTW Tricycle Operators instigated by MC Oluomo.
“Our attention has been drawn to the fact that despite the national secretariat’s directives during a meeting with you and other members of the Lagos State Administrative Council in Abuja on February 9, 2022, pertaining to the appointment of Alhaji Azeez Abiola as chairman, Lagos State NURTW Tricycle Operators, you have refused to comply. Instead, you have resorted to intimidation, harassment and assault on the newly-appointed tricycle chairman,” Yau wrote.
It also accused the Lagos chairman of forcefully taking over local branches of the union that are not loyal to him.
The national leadership of the union also accused Akinsanya of using thugs to forcefully take over branches of his perceived enemies.
“It is on record that you mobilised thugs to forcefully take over the operations of some local branches headed by perceived opponents,” the query stated.
Hence, the headquarters has directed MC to hand over the former NURTW state secretariat at Abule Egba to the tricycle committee.

It said: “In light of all foregoing, you are to, within 48 hours, hand over the former state council secretariat at Abule Egba to the newly appointed Lagos State Tricycle Committee.
“Withdraw all those men you sent to take over the branches of your perceived opponents; submit a written apology to the national secretariat, and failure to comply with the foregoing directives will leave the national secretariat with no option other than to take disciplinary action against you in line with the provisions of the union’s constitution.”
