The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has urged workers across the country to remain steadfast and committed to nation-building, despite the numerous challenges facing the nation.
In a statement released on the occasion of 2024 Labour Day, MWUN President-General Comrade Adewale Adeyanju praised the resilience and determination of Nigerian workers, who have continued to strive for a better nation despite political and economic challenges.
Adeyanju emphasized that workers are the backbone of the nation and play a critical role in shaping its future. He encouraged workers to continue their efforts, saying, “Let us march forward with purpose and determination, knowing that the strength of a nation lies not in her wealth or power but in the well-being and prosperity of her workers.”
The MWUN leader also extended his greetings to the management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Nigerian Shippers Council, NIWA, STOAN, NASO, and Shipping Employers, for their contributions to the maritime sector.
This is even as he praised their efforts in making the sector a safe haven for business transactions,
