Ondo NLC gets new chairman After 8 months vacuum

The Ondo State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has elected Olopade Ademola as the new chairman of the Congress in the state.

Ademola, who is the State Chairman of the Nigeria Civil Service Union (NCSU), emerged winner in a by-election following the retirement of Victor Amoko, who left public service eight months ago.

Olopade was declared winner after his lone opponent, Akinyemi Olatunbosun of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), withdrew from the race.
