Transport Union, NURTW sacks MC Oluomo and dissolves Lagos State Council
The National Administrative Council (NAC) of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has sacked Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, as the Lagos State Chairman of the union.
The union also dissolved its Lagos State council.
The National Administrative Council of the union made this known in a statement titled “Dissolution of Lagos State Administrative Council”, jointly signed by its national president, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, and general secretary, Alhaji Kabiru Ado Ya’u.
The union said the decision was based on the provisions of the union’s constitution.
The union’s secretary in Lagos State, Seyi Bankole, was subsequently announced as the new head of NURTW in Lagos.
The statement reads in part: “In view of the fact that nature abhors vacuum, the state secretary of the union, Comrade Seyi Bankole, is hereby directed to take over the running of the affairs of Lagos State council pending the constitution of a caretaker committee after consultation with relevant authorities.”
The statement also advised all members of the union in the state and general public to henceforth desist from dealing with members of the dissolved Lagos States council on issues concerning the union.
Recall that MC Oluomo was earlier suspended by the national body of the union on grounds of insubordination and incitement to violence.
In the statement released today, April 6, the national body stated that it took the decision to dissolve the Lagos State council due to the failure of MC Oluomo to show remorse.
The statement reads: “The National Administrative Council, during its meeting of March 15, 2022, graciously passed a resolution to grant pardon to the suspended state chairman if he showed remorse and tender unreserved apology to the union.
“However, up till this moment the suspended chairman has bluntly refused to do so, hence, the decision to take action against the Lagos State Administrative Council by dissolving same.”
The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has suspended a lecturer, Mr. Chigozie Odum, following allegations that he impregnated four students within four years of his appointment.
The suspension, which was officially communicated through a letter signed by the institution’s Deputy Registrar, Mrs. Achiuwa F.C., on behalf of the Registrar, comes after investigations into the matter.
While the alleged incidents reportedly occurred around 2019/2020, the university reached the decision to suspend the lecturer only two weeks ago.
The institution has not disclosed further details regarding additional disciplinary actions or ongoing investigations into the matter.
The Police Service Commission has officially approved the appointment of Olohundare Moshood Jimoh as the new Commissioner of Police for Lagos State. The announcement was made today, Monday, 17th February 2025.
Prior to this appointment, CP Jimoh served as the Commissioner of Police at the Ports Authority, Eastern Ports. He hails from Kwara State and has held several key positions throughout his career, including Force Public Relations Officer, Deputy Commissioner of Police at the Airport, Deputy Commissioner of Police for Finance and Administration, and Deputy Commissioner for General Investigation.
CP Jimoh has also received extensive professional training in various areas, including Combat Operations at the Mobile Training College in Maiduguri, the African Union Mission in Darfur, Sudan, and Weapons of Mass Destruction Countermeasure Training in the United States.
