Chairman of the Lagos State Council of National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Musiliu Akinsanya (aka MC Oluomo) has explained that the collection of N800 from transporters in the state, by his members, “is strictly for the Lagos State government tickets for consolidated transport levy, not union fee.”
In his words: “The state government, in January, introduced a daily N800 consolidated informal transport levy for transporters in the state.”
MC Oluomo said the Union has no right to stop the selling of the tickets since they are for the state government.
Recall that MC Oulomo was suspended indefinitely for an act of insubordination by the national body of NURTW.
He was accused of inciting members against national leadership and fronting for Tricycle operators in Lagos.
In his response to the “act of insubordination” brought against him by the national body of NURTW, MC Oluomo stated that he faithfully complied with the laws guiding the union’s operations and vowed.
“I vow never to do anything that will tarnish the image of the union nor bring the union back to the inglorious position of being branded as thugs and disturbers of the public peace in Lagos,” he stated.
