In view of the directive by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) said it would comply with the two days nationwide protest coming up on Tuesday, 28th and Wednesday 29th February, 2024.
In a statement by MWUN’s Head of Media, Comrade Kennedy Ikemefuna, the protest is coming on the backdrop of the Federal government’s refusal to honour the “October 2, 2023 Agreement signed with the Congress.
As a result, there will be shutdown of ports nationwide for the period that the protest will last.
“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 have brought upon Nigerian Workers and the citizenry of the Country.
“In view of this, MWUN as an affiliate of the Nigeria Labour Congress would in totality comply with the NLC directive.”
