On the eve of May Day celebrations, an executive of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW), has served notice of her intention to challenge president Akanni McDowell for the top post, weeks after publicly criticising the union leader.
Kimberley Agard, Third Vice President, publicly declared her candidacy for the post of president late Friday.
A statement issued by Agard said: “The decision to contest the post of Presidency stems from an immense sense of loyalty, responsibility and dedication to the union. The determination to lead this team comes from the recognition that the NUPW is at a stage where its focus and the representation of its members has been sporadic and diluted.
