Power Shift at NURTW Secretariat: Tajudeen Baruwa Ousts Musiliu Akinsanya

The leadership crisis at the National Union of Road Transport Workers has reached a turning point. Court rulings and ongoing tensions paved the way for Tajudeen Baruwa to assume control of the national secretariat. This move effectively ends the influence of Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo. The dispute has split the union into rival factions. A court had earlier recognized Baruwa as the legitimate president. His supporters have now enforced that decision at the union’s headquarters. Baruwa’s faction moved into the NURTW national office with legal backing. They claim the takeover aligns with the court order. This action marks a clear shift in leadership. The NURTW plays a key role in transport operations and grassroots politics across Nigeria. This change could reshape power dynamics within and beyond the union. The battle may continue as supporters of both sides weigh their next steps.
