The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has lost its Secretary General, Comrade Musa-Lawal Ozigi, and its Kwara State Chairman, Comrade Akin Akinsola.
The TUC executives were among the people killed by terrorists in the Kaduna-Abuja train attack which occurred on Monday.
According to a statement made available to The Star by the TUC President, Comrade Quadri Olaleye, the deceased were on their way to Kaduna for an official assignment slated for Tuesday 29 March, 2022, before they were killed by the assailants.
Olaleye, however, called on the “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,” the TUC President stated.
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, while Comrade Akinsola was a staff of Dangote Flour Mill under OLAM.
