VETERAN LABOUR LEADER, CHIEF FRANK KOKORI, DIES AT 80

Veteran labour leader and former General Secretary of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Chief Frank Kokori, is dead.

The Network gathered that Kokori died at 1:30 am on Thursday on his 80th birthday in a hospital in Warri, Delta State.

The former labour leader has been battling kidney-related disease for the past months.

Reports quoted his personal assistant, Atawada Barry Oke, as having broken the news of his death to the media in the early hours of Thursday.

Oke was quoted as saying that the health of the veteran labour leader and activist relapsed on Monday as he could not longer interact with people and had been on life support since then.

On November 9, Kokori had made a distress call in which he cried out that he had been abandoned to die in spite of his contributions to democracy in the society.

His distress call made Delta State Governor, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori; former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege; officials of NUPENG and other dignitaries to visit him on his sick bed.
