Appeal Court Overturns Gov Makinde's NURTW Suspension in Oyo State
The Appeal Court in Ibadan, Oyo State, overturned Governor Seyi Makinde's suspension of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Oyo State, deeming it unlawful. The Governor had proscribed the NURTW activities in May 2019, leading to a legal battle.
The NURTW challenged the suspension in the National Industrial Court but was dismissed for lacking merit. The union appealed, arguing that the state government lacked the authority to suspend a registered trade union.
The case raised questions about the Governor's power to proscribe the NURTW's operations under the Trade Union Act. The court is to determine if the lower court's decision was a miscarriage of justice and the Governor's authority in such matters.
