The National President of NURTW, Alhaji Najeem Yasin whose address was read by Alhaji Suleman Musa urged the elected members of the executive council, “to try as much as possible to run an administration that is committed to fairness, equity and justice so that unity and harmony will prevail amongst officers and members of this great union at various organs.”
