Sequel to 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 against 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.
