Speaking, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Abdulhafiz Toriola, said the state government has done everything on its path to ensure peaceful co-existence among members of the union, he urged them to work together in harmony.

He explained that the state government has now lifted the ban placed on the union.

The newly elected chairman of the union, Tajudeen Agbede had last month lifted the suspension slammed on Oluomo, blaming his predecessor for the NURTW crisis in Lagos state.

Agbede said, “One of the main problems created by Baruwa was the arbitrary suspension and expulsion of members perceived as his enemies. Through this, he destroyed the union, especially in the southwest. So, I, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, on behalf of other members of my executive, leaders and members of our union throughout the country, hereby lift the illegal suspension of our esteemed members throughout the country.

“Of particular concern is the suspension of Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, the Lagos state chairman of f our union. He was unfairly treated by Alhaji Baruwa. It was a pure case of misuse of power. We hereby appeal to Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya to come back home. NURTW is one big family and that is where you belong.”

Meanwhile, those familiar with the union said the reconciliation and reinstatement of Oluomo could not be totally alienated from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Lagos NURTW is a close ally of the president.
