The statement noted that Mrs Folakemi who worked with Osun State Broadcasting Corporation before her death was a committed and dedicated member of the union.
According to the Union, “The vacuum she left as ex -Officio would be very difficult to fill by the union especially her contributions to the success recorded by the union in recent times.
