The letter outlined that the Minister of Labour and Employment had taken charge of the dispute under Section 5 of the Trade Dispute Act CAP T8 Law of Federation of Nigeria, 2004. Consequently, all activities related to the election of new executives and other day-to-day operations of the union are suspended until further notice.

The letter stated that additional directives would be communicated by Friday, October 13, 2023.

This move followed the recent leadership crisis within the union, where a faction led by Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede forcefully took over the NURTW national secretariat, leading to the detention of the incumbent President, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, and three other national officers.
