A former Secretary-General of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Frank Kokori is dead.
Kokori died on Thursday in a hospital in Warri, Delta State.
His death was disclosed by his Personal Assistant, Atawada Oke.
Over the past few months, the former NUPENG secretary had been battling a kidney-related ailment.
