Ondo State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has elected a new Chairman, Comrade Ademola Adeniji Olapade of the Nigeria Civil Service Union (NCSU).
The bye-election followed the retirement of Comrade Victor Amoko of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) from the public service eight months ago.
However, in a dramatic twist, Olapade was declared winner yesterday at the NLC Secretariat, Ondo Road, Akure, after his lone opponent, Comrade Akinyemi Olatunbosun of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), stepped down from the race.
