The National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria (NUTGTWN) an amalgamation of 34 textile house unions was registered in 1977, while the formal listing of the union was done under the Trade Unions (Amendment) Decree 22 of 1978. NUTGTWN is a product of past effort by textile and garment workers to form a formidable organization, capable of defending their interest against the exploitative traits of employers (management) as well as enable them solve their problems collectively. To this extent textile union is as old as the first textile industry established in 1957.
