Bobboi re-elected TUC president

Bobboi Bala Kaigama has been re-elected as the President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) of Nigeria. He was returned unopposed at the TUC 10th Triennial National Delegates Conference held recently in Abuja.
It was unanimously agreed by all delegates present that the outgoing President, Comrade Kaigama, should be re-elected to steer the affairs of the union for another three years.
The over 2.5 million members represented by their delegates and affiliates said Kaigama has transformed the TUC from being a spectator to an investor in the Nigerian economy. This he has achieved through his leadership qualities.
Among his achievements in the last three years is the acquisition of 57 per cent stake in Unity Bank Plc which has transformed the TUC to the majority shareholder of the bank  and the setting up of the $1billion TUC Economic Development Fund as a vehicle to actualise the TUC Economic Development Plan.
Alongside Kaigama, who  also doubles as  the National President of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), other officers elected were Sunday Olusoji Salako (ASSBIFI) First Deputy National President; Augustine Etafo (Construction Workers) 2nd National Deputy President and the President of PENGASSAN, Comrade Francis Olabode Johnson, who became the 3rd National Deputy President of the congress.
The new executives also include Comrade Quadri Olaleye (FOBTOB) National Treasurer; Benjamin Okewu (ATSSSAN) Financial Secretary; Ambi Karu (Textile) Public Relations; Moshood Akinade (SSAUTHRIAI) Auditor 1; Matthew Alalade (Merchant Navy) Auditor 11 and Chris Okonkwo (SSAEAEC) Trustee 1.
The new exco also includes Adeyemi Ademola (HAPSSSA) as Trustee 11; Dada Joseph (PPPPSSA) Trustee 111, Peter Esele (Ex-Officio); Oyinkan Olasanoye (ASSBIFI) TUC Women Leader, Musa Lawal, Secretary General, TUC,  and  Simeso Amachree, Deputy Secretary General, TUC.
