The Cooperative Multipurpose Society of the Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MWUN) recently held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) where new executives were elected.
The meeting which held at the union’s secretariat in Lagos, saw the emergence of the following people as the new executives: Comrades Micah Iddio -President
2) Wole Adetumi – Vice President
3) Serifat Ogbeide- Treasurer
4) Ade Ayo Rasheed- Secretary
5) Ruben Erujaro- Asst. Secretary
6) Grace Olatunji- Ex- Officio

In a statement by Comrade John Kennedy Ikemefuna, Head of Media, MWUN, the pioneer President of the Cooperative Society, Comrade Ayokunle Ajayi thanked the Union during his valedictory speech for the opportunity given him to serve as the president of the Union’s financial institution for the period he held sway.
Comrade Ayokunle, who is currently a Deputy Secretary-General (DSG) Organizing & Operations of the Union was full of praise for the leadership of the Union, having given him the opportunity to serve in that capacity, saying that it was no mean trust by putting the people’s funds into his care with the rest of his outgoing executives for the years they meritoriously served the Cooperative Society with due diligence.
Comrade Ayo also spoke of his executives passionately, describing them as dedicated, committed, and most responsible to the course of duty always. He, however, described his team as most prudent to the best of his knowledge, who worked with sincerity of purpose, with the genuine interest of members at heart.
The Osun State born technocrat Comrade also said of his colleagues resilience, cooperation, and steadfastness as achievers of the progress being celebrated so far; recalling that when they assumed office, they had no structure on ground, no foundation and with little technical know- how; and in truth, they were actually building from nothing, but today the difference achieved so far can be measured with success being celebrated today, going back memory lane in 2019 when he was first appointed the President of the Maritime Workers’ (Apapa) Cooperative Multipurpose Society Limited.
Comrade Ayokunle also said that the core function of the Union’ Cooperative has been the provision of loans to members with modest interest to support welfare and financial stability; given the limited manpower and limited operational capacity, while reminding members that their funds are always safe and intact, duly audited and submitted to the Lagos State Government as required by law.
The DSG Organizing & Operation also thanked the Apapa Cooperative Area Officer and her entire team for their effective coordination, guidance, and regulatory oversight. He praised the entire team for their effectiveness, professionalism and their unwavering support at all times which has never been taken for granted.
The outgoing President was full of praise for the President-General of the Union, Comrade Francis Bunu Abi for his progressive work so far, especially in the prompt remittance of members’ cooperative deductions, stressing that such prompt financial obligations, and financial stability reassures members’ confidence on the society.
He also thanked the immediate past President-General of the Union, Comrade Adewale Adeyanju for his visionary initiative for establishing the Cooperative Multipurpose Society for the Union; while praising the indelible initiative of the former PG Emeritus, Comrade Adeyanju, who is so committed to members welfare at all times.
