The union, at an empowerment programme organised for its members, which is first of its kind in the history of the union in state, also gave N1 million to a widow of another late member whose family members were not invited for the event.

The families of the beneficiaries were those who had served the union diligently as executive members and trustees of various branches and zones in Lagos State before their demise.

Presenting the cheques, the chairman of the union in the state, Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle Adio, disclosed that he was moved by the spirit of empathy to come up with the idea, and that he would uphold the gesture as he would continue to support families of deceased.

Alhaji Adio commended the pioneer leaders of the union, promising that he would not relent in actualising their dreams for a better union where the interest and welfare of members would be paramount.

He noted that, the beneficiaries are families of the late executive members of NURTW who died between January and October 2024 including branch and zonal chairmen, vice chairmen, secretaries, treasurers, trustees, among others.

“We are giving out the money without sentiments; whether the deceased married one, two or three wives, there is no discrimination, it is a flat rate of N1.5 million each.

“What we are doing is not in our constitution, but we need to do it to assist the family members of our late officials. Our own government is for the people.

“We have met with the family members of the deceased and we have agreed on who would collect the N1.5 million on behalf of each of them. This is our first major programme, we still have more. I don’t have personal money to give, what we are giving is from the purse of the union.”
