Authorities of the University of Lagos have clarified the invitation of the caretaker chairman of the Lagos chapter of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musliu Akinsanya, to an event on the university’s campus, Igbere TV reports.

MC Oluomo, as Akinsanya is popularly called, was invited as a special guest at a colloquium organised by the National Association of Geography Students (NAGS) on Tuesday, Igbere TV reports.

Although the man was not present, a banner of the event bearing his picture caused a stir on social media.

With critics questioning the propriety of having the man blamed for some of the bloody clashes at motor parks, UNILAG authorities have clarified that he was not eventually invited for the event.

A rejoinder signed by the principal assistant registrar, communication unit, Taiwo Oloyede, on Friday, however, said there was nothing wrong with inviting people of diverse interests to the school.

“The Management of the University of Lagos hereby notifies parents, guardians and other stakeholders of the University that it is aware of the event to which the Lagos State Caretaker Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musliu Akinsanya, was allegedly invited.

“The event was a Colloquium on Transport Efficiency: Employing Lagos Terrain Alternatives organised by the National Association of Geography Students (NAGS) an Tuesday, September 17, 2019.

Relevant stakeholders in the transport sector invited to the event were: Arc. Abiodun Dabiri, MD, Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) Engr. Ibrahim Alhassan, Chairman, Nigerian Railway Corporation, Dr. Olusegun Spencer, Director, Amalgamated Mega-City Transport: Mr. Oluwadamilola Emmanuel, MD, Lagos Waterways Authority: Dr. Adewale Sanni, Station Manager Lufthansa and Dr. Charles Asenime, LASU School of Transport, PG Coordinator,” the rejoinder read in part.

Mrs Oloyede asserted that although MC Oluomo was one of those to be invited, which informed the draft banner with his picture, the approved banner did not have him as an invited guest, neither did he attend the event

“For the record, events are organised on campus to expose students to current trends in the academia and Industries. During such events, experts and relevant stakeholders with considerable knowledge and experience on the theme of such activities are carefully selected and invited to come and share their thoughts with our students. The goal is to produce students that are locally relevant and globally competitive, ” the school defended.

The authorities, however, urged the general public to disregard “any propaganda making the rounds on social media about the propriety of inviting a particular guest or not.”

nothing pesin no fit see for this kwantry a kwantry that celebrate drug baron and touts smh

I for say....... If this guy is invited to such events Evans should also be invited to talk!

We do see international movies where they use a notorious criminal to solve a situation in country.
So he might has something good to present that day and since his presence is not harmful to the student..
Nigerians like to shout on unnecessary things..

Until we know where to channel our voice too.

Better...

R

Thought he wasn't invited

It is well

Check my signature for affordable and durable window blind, wallpaper and 3D wall panel

Thuggery

What's he coming to guest?

I do not insinuate he's not brilliant nor learned, but what has he got to do with geography kwani?

Well clarified by the University...

I do not condemn the Man... It's just that whatever a person sow's, sooner or later he reaps...


I hope the leaders in the transport sector rebrand and put up good behaviors so people can see them as responsible individuals...

May God lead Nigeria out of Corruption and Nigerians out of Corrupt persons in Leadership positions.

#NigeriaMyCountry

Dem don use one grammar baptized there fault wasted generation

If the social media hadn't raised an alarm, that fuckin university would have allowed him to be a special guest. Shameless people

This confirms how low our values and morals have sunk if the likes of Agbero MC Oluomo would be celebrated in our citadels of learning..

What are we telling our young ones?

That Agberoism and motor park touting pays?

So, Nigeria is now a movie??

We are all acting.. Nothing is real.. Buhari is not real, hardship is not real... We are all acting!!!

That he extorts motorists and other road users of their hard earned money through his associates ( agberos) now means he is an expert in transportation industry...
Nigerian is sick and our educational system is getting sick too

I still don't know why his invitation should cause chaos. So far he is a stakeholder who understands the transport system in Lagos. Even if he had attended the event, does it change the fact that he can also proffer solutions to the endemic transport problem? He has a first hand knowledge about transport in Lagos as such he is in the pole position to talk. Those screaming morality are even worse than him. We should always overlook the messenger but consider his message which is the pivotal thing. Thanks.

So why was Sowore not allowed to deliver a speech in the same UNILAG?

Unilag never explained the reason for inviting an agbero but rather ....

This world self. When Linda Ikeji, TBoss and Chioma got pregnant outside wedlock, if was fine and no problem but just let mama ebuka or mama sikira's daughter get pregnant outside wedlock, then you will know what a taboo it is to get pregnant outside wedlock.

Funny nigeria

There is nothing wrong with MC Oluomo speaking in his capacity as the Chairman of NURTW, nothing. He is not going there as an APC henchman, he is going there as a leader of a union that has something to contribute to the discussion on ground.

Not everything should be an opportunity to be up in arms.

Agbero wey no hear english. but he made sure all his kids are in the US and educated. his mumu followers in oshodi wont do same

A complete successful agbero should not be in the citadel of learning

So are they doing it for the money or what . Do they think he'll throw money seeing it as a privilege. They should be bold with their decision either ways, but this one is small comparrison to the big trouble facing Nigeria. They should organize a program addressing Road Security and invite Evans or Miyatti Allah.

I see nothing wrong in inviting him.

A union that as far as i am concerned, their only contribution to transport in Nigeria is extorting motorists of funds they don't even remit wholly to the government and violence whenever they want to fight for who controls which park. I still would have loved for him to have attended that lecture to at least know what he would have said
