The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, has upheld Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as the legitimate President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
In its ruling, the appellate court affirmed the March 11, 2024, judgment of the National Industrial Court in Suit No. NICN/ABJ/263/2023, which recognized Baruwa’s presidency.
A three-member panel comprising Justices Hamma Akawu Barka, Nnamdi Okwy Dimgba, and Asmau Ojuolape Akanbi found the appeal by Najeem Usman Yasin, Tajudeen Agbede, and others to be without merit and dismissed it accordingly.
The Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgment, delivered on November 8, 2024, under Appeal No. CA/ABJ//CV/293/2024, reaffirmed Baruwa as the bona fide and duly elected leader of the union.
Additionally, the court imposed a fine of N100,000 on the appellants, to be paid to the respondents.
