THE Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has lost its Secretary General, Comrade (Barr.) Musa-Lawal Ozigi, mni and Kwara State Chairman, Comrade Akin Akinsola. They were among the people killed by terrorists in the Abuja-Kaduna train bombing that occurred yesterday around past 7:00pm.
They were on their way to Kaduna for an official assignment slated for today, Tuesday, 29 March, 2022.
Comrade Ozigi served in the capacity of General Secretary, Construction and Civil Engineering Senior Staff Association (CCESSA), an affiliate of TUC for almost two decades before he joined the Congress in 2012. Comrade Akinsola was a staff of Dangote Flour Mill under OLAM. They were both seasoned trade unionists.
We call on government at all levels, especially the Federal Government to rise up to the occasion to stop the killing of innocent Nigerians.
As it stands, nowhere is safe now – we cannot travel by air, road is not safe and neither is the rail. Is Nigeria a failed state? It is unfortunate.
The Congress condoles with the families and friends of our comrades and the good people of Kogi State for this irreparable loss. May God rest their soul. Amen.
Signed:
Comrade Quadri Olaleye, FCIA, MNIM
President
29th March, 2022
