Judgment Affirmation: Baruwa Recognized as NURTW President by Appeal Court
The Court of Appeal has affirmed a judgment recognizing Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa as the legitimate president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
This decision upholds an earlier ruling that confirmed his leadership, putting to rest a prolonged dispute over the presidency of the influential transport union.
Baruwa’s presidency had been challenged by opposing factions within the NURTW, leading to legal battles and heightened tensions among members.
The appellate court’s decision solidifies his position and is expected to bring some stability to the union’s leadership structure.
The NURTW, a powerful organization in Nigeria, plays a significant role in the transport sector and is often involved in political and labor-related matters.
Baruwa, who assumed the presidency in 2019, now has the judicial backing to continue his tenure, barring any further appeals to higher courts.
