The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, has declared Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as the legally recognised President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW.
The Court also Okayed the judgement of the National Industrial Court delivered on March 11, 2024, in respect of the Suit which declared Baruwa as NURTW president.
The court held that the appeal was filed by Alh. Najeem Usman Yasin, Alh. Tajudeen Agbede and others challenged the decision of the Industrial Court that recognised Baruwa as President lacked merit and therefore dismissed it.
The three-member panel of Justices consequently declared Baruwa as the legally elected President of the union.
The appellate court also awarded the sum of 100 thousand naira against the Appellants who are loyalists of MC Oluomo in favour of the Respondents.
