The Agricultural and Allied Workers' Union of Nigeria (AAWUN) was a trade union representing workers in the agricultural sector in Nigeria.
The union was established in 1978, when the Nigeria government merged various existing unions:[1]
Aba Livestock Workers' Union
Finch and Company (West Africa Limited) Workers' Union
Ibru Group of Companies Workers' Union of Nigeria
Ijebu Remo Rubber Plantation Workers' Union
Ilushin Rubber Estate Workers' Union
Ilutitun Osoro Oil Palm Estate Workers' Union
Mid-West Timber Industries Workers' Union
Mitchell Farms African Workers' Union of Nigeria
Nigeria Timber Industries Workers' Union
Nigerian Union of Farm, Plantation, Agricultural and Allied Workers
Nigerian Union of Sea Fishermen
Obelawo Farcha Fishing Industry Workers' Union
Oke-Afa Farms Limited and E. O. Ashamu Group of Companies Workers' Union
Pest Control Staff Union
Union of Agricultural Workers of Nigeria
Western State Agricultural Engineering and Allied Workers' Union
Western State Association of Professional Agriculturists
The union was a founding affiliate of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and by 1988, it had 50,000 members.[2] In 2008, it merged with the Agricultural and Allied Senior Staff Association to form the Agricultural and Allied Employees' Union of Nigeria (AAEUN), but a group of union members disagreed with the merger and continued operating under the AAWUN name.[3] In 2018, the two unions attempted to merge under the name "Agricultural and Allied Union of Nigeria", but this was not approved by the Registrar of Trade Unions.[4] In 2019, the AAWUN finally merged into the AAEUN.[5]
