In a ruling delivered by a three-member panel consisting of Justices Hamma Akawu Barka, Nnamdi Okwy Dimgba, and Asmau Ojuolape Akanbi, the court confirmed Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as the legitimate President of NURTW. The decision upheld an earlier judgment by the Industrial Court delivered on March 11, 2024, in Suit No. NICN/ABJ/263/2023.

The appellate court dismissed an appeal filed by Najeem Usman Yasin, Tajudeen Agbede, and others, who had contested the Industrial Court’s recognition of Baruwa as the President. The court declared the appeal as lacking merit.

In addition, the judges awarded N100,000 in costs against the appellants in favor of the respondents.

Despite MC Oluomo’s recent election and swearing-in as the NURTW President, Baruwa criticized his actions, calling them a “blatant disregard and disrespect for the rule of law and an affront to the judiciary.”

He made this statement during a press conference in Abuja, highlighting the legal implications of the court’s decision.
