Tajudeen Baruwa Ousts MC Oluomo as NURTW President After Court Rulings

On Monday, March 23, Tajudeen Baruwa took control of the National Union of Road Transport Workers secretariat in Abuja, removing Musiliu Akinsanya (MC Oluomo) from office. He said the move complied with recent court judgments that recognized him as the union’s legitimate leader. Baruwa emphasized that this was a legal implementation rather than a forced takeover. He added that security agencies were notified in advance and provided with copies of the rulings. The leadership struggle has dragged on for months, with decisions from the National Industrial Court and the Court of Appeal bolstering Baruwa’s claim. Supporters on both sides have been locked in legal battles over who should lead the union.
