We’ll appeal judgement against MC Oluomo’s Park Management Committee: Lagos govt
The Lagos State Ministry of Justice says it will appeal the industrial court judgment dissolving the activities of Lagos State Parks Management Committee.
In a statement issued by the spokesperson for the ministry, Grace Alo, the state government said it has applied for the Certified True Copy of the judgement and will file for an appeal.
She added that the dissolution of the committee is not related to the suit filed before the industrial court.
The ministry noted that the state government set up the Lagos State Park Management Committee, under the headship of Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo, to control activities of commercial road transport workers within garages and motor parks. It maintained that the body does not to interfere in the affairs of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) in Lagos State.
“Our attention has been drawn to reports on various media about a judgment delivered by Honourable Justice Maureen Esowe in respect of Suit No NICN/LA/381/2022 between the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria and The Executive Governor of Lagos State and 36 Ors,” the statement said.
“The reliefs sought from the Court by the Claimant include a declaration that the purported dissolution of the Elected Executive Committee of the Claimant operating in Lagos State and the appointment of a Caretaker Committee to run its affairs in Lagos State by the Lagos State Government is unconstitutional, null and void.
“It is on record that what the Lagos State Government set up is known as the Lagos State Park Administrators Ad-Hoc Committee on the Operations of Commercial Road Transport Workers Activities within Garages and Motor Parks and not a Caretaker Committee to run the affairs of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) in Lagos State.
“Several of the reports have mistakenly attributed to the Judgement that the Lagos State Park Management Committee (Committee) has been dissolved. The validity of the Lagos State Park Management Committee was not an issue before the Court and the Committee was not a party to the suit.
“The dissolution of the Committee is unrelated to the issues before the Court.
“The Lagos State Government has applied for the Certified True Copy of the Judgement and intends to file an appeal in respect of same. All affected parties are enjoined to remain calm and be law-abiding.”
