Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has appointed Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya a.ka. MC Oluomo the Chairman of Lagos State Parks Management Committee.
The 25-member committee has the immediate past Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu as the Government Liaison Officer.
The appointments were announced on Thursday by the state commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso.
MC Oluomo was the Lagos State Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) until last month when he was suspended by the national organ of the union.
The Lagos State Government also promptly put a lid on the activities of NURTW in the state following the suspension of Oluomo.
The Punch newspaper of Wednesday announced that Oluomo has been finally sacked by the NURTW for insubordination.
