In the quest not to leave

the chairman of all the chairmen of the state
chapters (Mr Agility Onwurah) in
line

and seek a lasting solution to the lingering
crisis in the Guild
and the need to constitute
a solid structure to resuscitate the guild.
The congress
was attended by the chairmen,
representatives and stakeholders.
However, the
deliberation was hinged
on the judgment of March 2015
by the Federal High Court

Lagos headed by Justice J.T. Tshoho.
The provisions of the judgment
were
extensively deliberated upon by all
taking special cognizance of the

should surrender
all paraphernalia of their offices to the guild.
At the end of
plenary and after
meticulous deliberation of issues in
the subsisting
structure, the entire
house resolved as follows:

and unwholesome
attitude towards the
growth of the association. Always bearing
in mind that the
guild is the only
umbrella shielding the association.
2. Call on all the aggrieved members to
sheet their
swords and work towards
the national unity of our great guild.
3. Call on the parties involved to recognize
and
respect each other’s right of self
determination in the pursuit of a better
and
stronger association as it relates
the election of their executives without
fear or favour.
4. Rely upon the decision of the Honourable
court of
justice paragraph 4, 10, 11, & 12
of the judgment and set up a caretaker
committee.

through nominations by different chapter

and representatives.
