Delegates to the quadrennial congress of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in zone 2, south west, have appointed Mr Musiliu Akinsanya, fondly called Mc Oluomo, as the acting chairman of the union in south west.
The delegates also appealed to the government of Ondo, Oyo, and Osun states to allow the union to return to motor parks in their states.
Former national treasurer of the union, Mr Nasiru Komolafe, who presided over the congress, disclosed that Mc Oluomo, who is the deputy chairman of the zone, would act as the chairman of the union pending the election of a substantive chairman.
Mr Komolafe, who urged the government of the states where activities of the union have been proscribed to rescind the decision, noted that the post of the nurtw national president has been zoned to the south west.
He added that the union could not conduct its zonal congress because it could not form a quorum with the two states where the union was currently operating.
