The 7th Triennial Delegates Conference of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) was held on 2nd and 3rd March, 2007, in Lagos, Nigeria.



It was a successful Conference.



At the Conference, Comrade Peter Esele, the National President of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) emerged as the new Leader of the Congress. He beat our brother, Comrade Gabriel Babalola, the National

President of Food, Beverage & Tobacco Senior Staff Association (FOBTOB) by 68 to 66 votes.



It became a keen contest between the duo when incumbent President-General, our sister, Comrade Peace Obiajulu stepped down for Peter at the heat of the polls.



Peter accordingly succeeded Peace as the new Leader.



TRADE UNION CONGRESS OF NIGERIA (TUC) is the second Labour Centre in Nigeria (after Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC) having been registered by the Federal Government of Nigeria on 9th September, 2005.
