Maritime Workers To Join 2-Day Nationwide Protest,Shut Down Ports

The Maritime Workers Union
of Nigeria (MWUN), led by
Comrade Adewale Adeyanju,
said it will join the Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC) in
the 2-day nationwide protest
scheduled for February 27 and
28, 2024.
Comrade John Kennedy
Ikemefuna, Head of Media,
MWUN, who disclosed this in
a statement made available to
Daily Independent, said that as
directed by the Congress after
its NEC-in-session rose from a
meeting held on Monday, February 26, in Abuja, directing all
its affiliate members across the
nation to strictly comply.
“The protest is coming
against the backdrop of the
Federal government’s refusal
to honour the October 2, 2023
agreement signed with the
Congress.
“However, the Congress
believes that if the agreement
had been honoured and implemented, it would have gone
a long way to ameliorate the
sufferings and hardships of
the ill-conceived and ill- implemented policies that have
brought upon Nigerian Workers and the citizenry of the
Country.
“Given this, MWUN as an
affiliate of the Nigeria Labour
Congress would in totality comply with the NLC directive.
