How Lagos NURTW Chairman MC Oluomo Is Creating New Millionaires Among Friends, Associates & Well Wishers

NURTW Branch chairmen in Lagos state are regarded as millionaires based on the returns that accrue to the office through formal and informal toll collections.

Insiders insist that the strategy behind the splitting of branches by the NURTW chairman is to “create more people” that can cater to the needs of the dependants of the transport union and spread social security in their areas by helping the needy in their communities.

“He always tells them Eni lati toju awon eyan yin, E to ju awon enyan (You have to take care of your people, take care of the people).

Societynow.ng gathered that MC Oluomo who is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is using the same style in administering associations of Okada (Commercial motorcycle) riders and Marwa (Commercial Tricycle) operators working under the cover of the NURTW in Lagos state.

“He has split their zones into four with more people empowered. The Tricycle operators now have people with street names such as Pappy kamoli, Shamelon, Istijabah, Gaaji as their zonal heads” societynow.ng learned.

Gaaji used to work with the musical band of King of Fuji Music Wasiu Ayinde Anifowoshe better known as Kwam 1.

The added information that is available to societynow.ng revealed that, even, well-wishers are not left out of the spread of wealth by MC Oluomo who has Oshodi as his stronghold.

“There are some people that loiter around parties and always seeking help. He identified some of them and put them on the weekly payroll of some branch chairmen. That’s some ten to fifteen thousand Naira for those people” societynow.ng learned.

Further investigation revealed that MC Oluomo had always been like that, watching out for others.

“He always spreads the benefits of his position to others right from when he was unit chairman and later branch chairman in Oshodi. Lots of people became Alhaji and Alhaja and Justice of Peace in Oshodi through his generosity, especially elderly people who have never stepped the Airport. And many needy are on his payroll as well and he does not discriminate by tribe or religion. There are many people who are vehicle and business owners because of his generosity ” societynow.ng learned.
