Lawmakers in the Lagos State House of Assembly have stated that they back the state government’s position in the suspension of the activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and its Chairman, MC Oluomo.
Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, Hon Temitope Adewale made the position of the House known in a statement on Friday.
He said that the suspension of the NURTW activities in the state is aimed at quelling the tension from the crisis rocking the union.
He added that position of the lawmakers remains sacrosanct and 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.”
In another development, 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.
One of the sons of the former Lagos NURTW council chairman, identified on Instagram as King-west, had congratulated 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”
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Gboyega Akosile denied the appointment and added that MC Oluomo’s son does not work for the government, so he can’t speak for it.
According to him, “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.”
