The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) says it will join the Nigeria Labour Congress’ (NLC) 2-Day Nationwide Protest holding from the 27-28th, ( Tuesday and Wednesday), February, 2024.
According to a statement on Monday,26 February,2024, by comrade John Kennedy Ikemefuna,head of media of the Union,the decision to join the 2 day protest stems from a directive from the Congress after it rose from its NEC-In-Session meeting held today 26, Monday, February 2024 in Abuja, directing all its affiliate members across the nation to strictly comply.
According to the statement,”The protest is coming on 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 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.”
