The Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government-Owned Companies (SSASCGOC) Maritime Branch has strengthen ties with the operators of the Lekki Deep Sea Port to face off the challenges militating against workers at the terminal.
The President of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) senior staff union, Comrade Akinola Bodunde disclosed this on Friday during a working visit to the Lekki Port Manager, Comrade Anda Emmanuel and other staff of NPA at the terminal.
The visit underscores the SSASCGOC Maritime Branch’s commitment to fostering collaboration and improving working conditions at one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing seaports located in Lagos.
Bodunde acknowledged the challenging working conditions faced by NPA management and staff, particularly the crowded workspaces and accommodation issues.
During the visit, Bodunde, alongside the Branch Executive Committee (BEC), expressed appreciation for the strong working relationship with Comrade Emmanuel and his team. He encouraged the Lekki Port team to continue their efforts to boost revenue generation and support the leadership of Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho in advancing the port’s overall development.
He assured the workers that their concerns would be promptly raised with the NPA management.
The SSASCGOC Maritime president also urged the workforce to maintain their support for both port management and the union to ensure enhanced performance and growth.
The visit also included the union conducting a by-election for the Lekki executives and a courtesy visit to the Lekki Deep Sea Port management.
