Niger mines workers’ chairman emerges national president, pledges to build miners’ capacity

Musa Adamu Nasko, Niger State chairman of the Nigeria Union of Mines Workers (NUMW), has emerged as the union’s new

Musa Adamu Nasko, Niger State chairman of the Nigeria Union of Mines Workers (NUMW), has emerged as the union’s new national president after defeating his challenger, Yusuf Osaba Ate, with 60 votes to 45. The election, which marked the completion of the union’s national leadership transition, was held at the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) meeting hall in Abuja. About 114 delegates drawn from different states of the federation participated in the exercise, voting on behalf of members they represented. Also, Ndagi Alhaji Ndagi, the union’s financial secretary in Niger State, emerged as the new national publicity secretary. Speaking with journalists after the election, the outgoing national president, Hamza Mohammed, described the exercise as peaceful and conducted in accordance with the union’s rules, adding that the candidates were satisfied with the outcome. Mohammed urged the newly elected leaders to prioritise unity and work collectively to address the challenges confronting the union. “I am calling, in particular, on those who have won this election to unite and ensure that they move the union forward. There are many challenges, and we must be united to confront them together to achieve the desired success,” he said. He urged the incoming leadership to demonstrate courage and determination, assuring them that the outgoing executives remained available to provide guidance and support where necessary. According to him, the union has recorded notable achievements, including establishing its presence in 30 states of the federation and laying the foundation for stronger representation of mining workers. He also cited the union’s legal engagements with relevant authorities in some southern states, which he said culminated in a favourable judgment at the Supreme Court.

From the beginning, we committed everything to God, and we have accepted the outcome as His will,” he said. He congratulated Nasko, expressing confidence in his ability to provide the leadership needed to advance the union’s interests. Ate urged his supporters to extend the same commitment to the new president that they had demonstrated during his campaign, stressing that all members shared a common goal of developing the union. “We all have the same goal, which is the development of NUMW. I therefore appeal to my supporters to support the new leadership and work together for the progress of the union,” he added. In his acceptance remarks, Nasko thanked members and delegates for their cooperation and for ensuring that the election was conducted without violence or disruption. He described his emergence as a collective victory for the union rather than a personal achievement, calling for unity among members and stakeholders. The new president said his administration would explore ways of generating sustainable revenue for the union to strengthen its operations and improve its capacity to represent workers in the mining sector. He expressed the ambition of positioning NUMW to operate more effectively alongside established unions in the oil and gas sector, such as the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG). Nasko said Nigeria’s vast mineral resources could make a significant contribution to the global market if properly managed, adding that mining workers needed a stronger and more effective union to protect their interests and support the development of the industry. He, however, acknowledged that achieving the union’s objectives would require collective effort, urging members to set aside differences arising from the election and work towards a common purpose. Nasko also said former executives would not be sidelined, noting that their experience and contributions remained important to the union’s future. He added that the new administration would work towards resolving internal disputes affecting some state chapters and restoring their effective participation in the national union. An industry veteran, Umaru Babuga, described NUMW as a recognised labour organisation affiliated with the Nigeria Labour Congress, saying it had a responsibility to protect the rights and welfare of workers in the mining industry. Babuga urged mining workers across the country to register with the union to strengthen its membership base and improve its capacity to defend their interests. He also expressed confidence in Nasko’s leadership, citing his years of experience working with the new president and describing him as hardworking and committed. Babuga urged Nasko to remain courageous and focused on building a stronger union capable of addressing the concerns of mining workers nationwide.

Nasko said Nigeria’s vast mineral resources could make a significant contribution to the global market if properly managed, adding that mining workers needed a stronger and more effective union to protect their interests and support the development of the industry. He, however, acknowledged that achieving the union’s objectives would require collective effort, urging members to set aside differences arising from the election and work towards a common purpose. Nasko also said former executives would not be sidelined, noting that their experience and contributions remained important to the union’s future. He added that the new administration would work towards resolving internal disputes affecting some state chapters and restoring their effective participation in the national union. An industry veteran, Umaru Babuga, described NUMW as a recognised labour organisation affiliated with the Nigeria Labour Congress, saying it had a responsibility to protect the rights and welfare of workers in the mining industry. Babuga urged mining workers across the country to register with the union to strengthen its membership base and improve its capacity to defend their interests. He also expressed confidence in Nasko’s leadership, citing his years of experience working with the new president and describing him as hardworking and committed. Babuga urged Nasko to remain courageous and focused on building a stronger union capable of addressing the concerns of mining workers nationwide.
