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.
