The family and children of a former General Secretary of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) Chief Frank Kokori, have fixed March 4-10, 2024, as dates for the final burial rites of the deceased.

Kokori died on December 7, 2023, which was the day he clocked 80 years, after a brief illness.

The burial dates were announced yesterday in a statement on behalf of the children and family of the late foremost unionist by the Burial Planning Committee (Media Subcommittee).

The statement was jointly signed by the Media Subcommittee’s alternate chairman, Felix Ayanruoh, on behalf of the chairman, Mr Kayode Komolafe, Secretary, Ebenezer Adurokiya and son of the late octogenarian, Kive Kokori.

The subcommittee disclosed that the burial ceremony would commence with a symposium/lecture day/day of tributes on March 4 at the NAF Conference Centre, Abuja, where President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, other top government functionaries and leadership of labour unions, members of the civil society and the general public are expected to be in attendance.  

On Thursday, March 7, 2024, the body of the octogenarian will be lying in state, coupled with a service of songs and Christian Wake at his Ovu home in Delta State. 

Final church burial service for the late unionist, according to the statement, holds on Friday March 8, 2024, to be followed by interment, and reception and entertainment of guests. 

The seven-day burial ceremony will be wrapped up on Sunday, March 10, 2024, with a Church Thanksgiving for family members, friends and well-wishers, the statement said.
