The AMDF Executive Director therefore pledged the readiness of the organisation to provide professional support to the Union, under her leadership, especially in the area of capacity building for both leaders and members.
Furthermore, Mr. Kure said, the AMDF would assist in drawing up a strategic master plan derivable from the Mission and Vision of the Council to be fashioned out by the organisation.
This, he believes, will assist in taking the union to a greater height.
