The Benue State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Caretaker Committee headed by Stephen Ijoh, has been directed by the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN), Makurdi Division, to conduct elections within 14 days.
In her ruling Thursday, the court, presided over by Honourable Justice Dr I.J. Essien gave the ruling in the case between Orduen Dura versus NUJ, national headquarters and five others at the court complex in Makurdi.
Justice Essien, while ruling on the matter upheld the earlier qualification of candidates by the council electoral committee while it disqualified Mr Bem Ugber and Mr Terna Umah, who were given waiver by the national headquarters of the union to be part of the action.
