Court Sacks MC Oluomo As NURTW President And Affirms Baruwa

 The Abuja Division of the Appeal Court has sacked Musiliu Akinsanya MC Oluomo from the position of the National President of the National Union of Roads Transport Workers, NURTW.

The court also affirmed Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as the authentic President of NURTW and also affirmed the judgment of the Industrial Court delivered on the 11th of March 2024 

The court held that the appeal filed by Najeem Usman Yasin, Tajudeen Agbede and others challenging the decision of the Industrial Court that recognised Baruwa as President lacked merits and therefore dismissed it.

In a Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgement  delivered on Friday,November 15, 2024 by a three-member panel (comprising of Justice Hamma Akawu Barka, Nnamdi Okwy Dimgba and Asmau Ojuolape Akanbi) it was held that Baruwa is the legally elected President of NURTW.

The appellate court also awarded the sum of N100,000 against the Appellant in favour of the Respondents.

MC Oluomo was recently elected and sworn in as the National President of the Union

But, Baruwa described MC Oluomo’s action as blatant disregard and disrespect for the rule of law and an affront to the judiciary.
