Musiliu Akinsanya, widely known as MC Oluomo, has been elected as the new national president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). The announcement marks a significant shift in leadership for the union, which represents a large number of transport workers across Nigeria.
MC Oluomo, a prominent figure in the Lagos State chapter of NURTW, takes over the reins at a time when the union faces a series of challenges, including calls for reforms within its ranks. He previously served as the chairman of the Lagos State chapter, where his influence and leadership were pivotal in shaping the direction of the union in the region.
Akinsanya’s rise to the national presidency is seen as a culmination of his longstanding involvement in the transport sector and his role in the NURTW’s leadership structure. His election comes after a period of uncertainty for the union, which has seen internal conflicts and controversies in recent years.
As national president, MC Oluomo is expected to focus on strengthening the union’s presence across Nigeria, improving working conditions for its members, and navigating the complex relationship between transport unions and government authorities. His leadership style and approach to addressing longstanding issues within the union will likely shape the future of NURTW in the coming years.
MC Oluomo’s election also comes with a renewed sense of optimism among his supporters, who believe his leadership will usher in a new era for the union, with a focus on unity, progress, and development for transport workers nationwide.
