NAA expels two members for misconduct

The Nigeria Association of Auctioneers (NAA) has announced the unanimous expulsion of two members, Alhaji Aliyu Mohammed Kiliya and Alhaji Musa Kura over actions deemed detrimental to the Association.

The association announced this on Saturday at its stakeholders’ general meeting held in Abuja, where key resolutions aimed at restoring stability and strengthening internal governance were adopted.

According to the disciplinary committee report presented at the meeting, Alhaji Kiliya was found to have unlawfully inserted his name as a BOT member at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) during his tenure as National President and had repeatedly taken legal action against the Association to overstay in the office after serving two terms as the National President.

Alhaji Kura on the other hand, was expelled for allegedly parading himself as National President without a valid election.

Members noted that the prolonged disputes and multiple court cases filed by the expelled individuals had prevented the Association from holding a peaceful Annual General Meeting (AGM) or conducting proper elections to elect new executive for several years.

The Association emphasized that the expulsions were intended to deter acts capable of undermining or embarrassing the NAA in the future.

At the end of the session, members reaffirmed their commitment to unity, discipline, and ongoing reforms aimed at repositioning the Association for greater stability and progress.

During the meeting presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BOT), King Alfred Diete-Spiff, Amayanabo of Brass Kingdom, the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee, Hajiya Salamatu Abdullahi, in her address, commended the BOT for providing leadership and stability throughout the Association’s transition period.

She also commended the zonal chairmen for their commitment to maintaining unity within the NAA.

At the meeting, a member of the Constitution Review Committee, Mr. Harrison Otaigbe, gave update on progress made in reviewing the Association’s constitution to strengthen its governance framework.
