Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle Adio aka Sego, has been inaugurated as the substantive Chairman of the Lagos State Council of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

Sego had acted as the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the council for a few months after the dissolution of the executive committee of the council.

The event, which was held with pomp at the secretariat of the union in Oko Oba, Agege area of Lagos on Thursday, was attended by several members of the council from across the state.
