The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) ,has lifted the suspension order slammed on the Lagos State Chairman of the union, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (aka MC Oluomo) and other members by the former president of the union, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa.
He said one of the problems created by the Baruwa administration was the arbitrary suspension and expulsion of members he considered as his enemies.
“Through this, he destroyed the union, especially in the Southwest. So, I, Alhaji Agbede, on behalf of other members of my executives, leaders and members of our union throughout the country, hereby lift the illegal suspension of our esteemed members throughout the country.“Of particular concern is the suspension of Alhaji Akinsanya, the Lagos State chairman of our union. He was unjustifiably treated by Alhaji Baruwa. It was a pure case of misuse of power. We hereby appeal to Alhaji Akinsanya to come back home. NURTW is one big family and this is where he belongs,” he said.
Agbede said he will ensure all state councils of the union currently under the state-owned Park and Garages Committee returns to NURTW.
“By the special grace of God, we shall meet Southwest governors for discussion on how to work together. We will cooperate with them in Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Lagos, Ondo and Ekiti states to get our union back on track. It is a new dawn in NURTW,” he added.
On other plans, he said the union will work with the Federal Government to ensure that people benefit from government programmes.
