GENEVA, Switzerland — The Nigerian delegation to the 114th Session of the International Labour Conference (ILC) in Geneva and the labour movement have been thrown into mourning following the death of labour leader Domingo Michael Adeleke.
Adeleke, Chairman of the Lagos State Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), died on Tuesday in Geneva after a brief illness.
He was in Switzerland as part of Nigeria’s delegation to the conference when he reportedly became ill and was later taken for medical attention. He subsequently passed away.
