The faction of the National Union of Road and Transport Workers (NURTW) led by Tajudeen Baruwa has taken control of the union’s national secretariat in Abuja.
The takeover occurred on Monday when members of Baruwa’s faction stormed the headquarters amid an ongoing leadership dispute with the faction headed by Ayinde Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo.
MC Oluomo had been elected National President in November 2024, but a court ruling later favored Baruwa in the legal battle over the union’s leadership.
Despite the court decision, MC Oluomo continued to function as president until the recent takeover.
