The WATS constitution stipulates that the WATS trustees be appointed at the annual meeting of the General Assembly. It further states that the trustees shall be seven in number.

A trustee shall cease to hold office if he or she resigns, becomes insane, is officially declared bankrupt, is convicted of a criminal offense, is recommended for removal from office by the Governing Council, or ceases to reside in Nigeria.
