Mr Waite Harry, the Vice President of Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, has urged the management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to pay the benefits of its retirees.
Harry said on Tuesday in Port Harcourt that the NPA management should look into the case of its retirees.
NAN recalls that some retired staff of the NPA had staged a protest in Port Harcourt over the non-payment of their retirement benefits since 2002.
Harry said the delay was disappointing in view of the victory of the pensioners at the law court.

Harry said the delay was disappointing in view of the victory of the pensioners at the law court.
“Those who retired 10 years ago have yet to be paid their retirement benefits, in spite of the fact that they won their case in court,” Harry added.
The maritime chief also appealed to the Board of the NPA to reconsider the case of the retirees.
Harry, however, advised the retirees to be patient with the Federal Government since the court verdict in the case was in their favour.
