Musiliu Akinsanya, the former chairman of the Lagos chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), has been sworn in as the union’s national president.
The swearing-in ceremony took place in Abuja on Monday at the union’s national secretariat.
Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, was the sole candidate in the election, which took place at the union’s zonal secretariat along the Osogbo/Ikirun road in Osun state at the weekend.
Delegates from the four south-west states—Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti—participated in the election.

Speaking after the swearing-in, Akinsanya thanked members of the union and his supporters for electing him as their president.
“I promised to lead the union to a greater height with the help of almighty Allah,” he said.

In 2022, the NURTW suspended Akinsanya over alleged misconduct, insubordination, and incitement, but the suspension was lifted in 2023.
