MC Oluomo Takes the Helm of Nigeria's National Union of Road Transport Workers
In a defining moment for Nigeria’s transport sector, Musiliu Akinsanya, affectionately known as MC Oluomo, has been elected as the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). The election took place during the union’s Quadrennial Delegate Conference held in Osogbo, the vibrant capital of Osun State, where delegation representatives gathered over the weekend to solidify the future direction of this important organization.
The election was conducted under the watchful eye of the acting National President of the NURTW, Aliyu Issa-Ore, ensuring that the process adhered to the organization’s constitutional mandates. The presence of Adedamola Salam, Head of Finance at the National Headquarters in Abuja, emphasized the commitment to maintaining organizational integrity throughout the electoral process. The South-West zone demonstrated remarkable compliance with the constitution, resulting in a smooth election for MC Oluomo as the President.
This pivotal moment in the NURTW’s journey was not just about leadership, as the delegates also elected a new Vice President, Tajudeen Agbede, who will serve the South-West zone alongside trustee Akeem Adeosun. These new appointments come at a time when the union is poised for growth and development, fostering a united front under the dynamic leadership of MC Oluomo.
Upon taking the oath of office, MC Oluomo articulated a powerful message of unity and peace, urging members to embrace a collaborative spirit. His prior experience as the Lagos Chairman of the NURTW, a position he will continue to hold after being re-elected for a second term in December 2023, positions him to make significant strides in advancing the interests of transport workers across Nigeria.
As the new president steps into his role, the focus will undoubtedly be on enhancing the organization’s impact within both local and national contexts, promoting safer road transport policies, and ensuring that the voices of all members are heard. MC Oluomo’s commitment to fostering unity signals a hopeful future for NURTW as it navigates the evolving landscape of Nigeria’s transport sector.
