The Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) has appointed Mr Henry Ugwu as its new National Secretary General with immediate effect.
The association’s Executive National President, Alhaji Musa Mohammed, announced this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
He explained that the decision was taken in line with RTEAN’s constitution and the provisions of the Trade Unions Act, Cap. T14, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (as amended).
“The association hereby notifies all members, stakeholders, government institutions, security agencies, and the general public to take due note of this leadership change and accord full recognition only to Mr Henry Ugwu as the duly appointed National Secretary General of RTEAN,” Mohammed said.
He added that the National Executive Council (NEC), at a meeting held on Thursday presided over by Deputy National President (Administration), Amb. Mohammed Bishara, considered the report of an investigative committee on allegations of misconduct against Mr Yusuf Adeniyi.
“After careful consideration of the committee’s findings, the NEC resolved that Mr Yusuf Adeniyi is hereby dismissed from office as National Secretary General of RTEAN with immediate effect. He is no longer authorised to act, function, or represent himself in any capacity as Secretary General of the sector,” Mohammed stated.
He reiterated that the association remained committed to transparency, accountability, industrial harmony, and effective collaboration with government to advance peace and development in the Nigerian transport sector.
