NURTW crisis: Lagos govt brokers peace among warring parties
…as MC Oluomo, Sego signs 8-point accord
The Lagos State Government has intervened in the frosty relationship among the leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in the state following the signing of an eight-point peace accord.
The special adviser to the governor on transportation, Sola Giwa, who facilitated the peace accord to guide the union’s operations and interactions, explained that the move has become necessary to let peace reign supreme among the leadership and members of the union in the state.
At the resolution meeting, held at Alausa, Ikeja, on Thursday, Giwa stressed that internal disharmony within the union could adversely affect other areas of commercial activities within the state.
Present at the meeting were Directors in the Ministry of Transportation, National president of NURTW, Musiliu Akinsanya (MC Oluomo), Lagos State Council Chairman, Mustapha Adekunle (aka Sego), and some executive members of the national and state NURTW.
Giwa, therefore, urged the union’s leadership to prioritise peace for the benefit of all stakeholders in the transport sector.
Further speaking on the accord, he explained that by signing the agreement to maintain peace and order, the union reaffirms its commitment to fostering unity and stability while safeguarding members’ welfare.
