Oluomo, along with his Deputy Chairman, Alhaji Sulyman Ojora, the Treasurer, Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle (Sego), and 28 other executive members, were elected unopposed on Thursday at the 10th Quadrennial State Delegates Conference in Lagos.
The officers were subsequently sworn in by a lawyer, Mr Adejare Kembi.
Akinsanya thanked the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the leadership of the union’s national body for their supports.
He promised to continue reforming the union.
The state governor, Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by a Director in the Ministry of Transportation, Lateef Tiamiyu, commended the union, saying, “Gone were the days when NURTW members took to violence to effect leadership change.”
In his remarks, the acting National President hailed Akinsanya’s emergence and that of other executive members.
Ore said, “Those who emerged victorious from this election must serve in such a way that demonstrates exemplary leadership, capacity, and sacrifice. Both leadership and followership must strive through a collaborative effort to turn the union’s fortunes for the better.
“Those elected must carry others along. I therefore urge you all to, within your limitations, try as much as possible to run an open administration that will be devoid of victimisation and committed to fairness, equity, and justice, so that unity and harmony will prevail amongst others and members of this great union at the various levels.”
