The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) have restated their commitment to continuous stakeholders’ engagement as an effective tool to maintain the peace which the nation’s maritime sector has enjoyed in recent years.

The Director General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Bashir Jamoh (Right) presenting the keys to a 16-seater bus to the President General, Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MWUN); Comrade Adewale Adeyanju as part of NIMASA’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at the agency’s headquarters in Lagos on Tuesday

NIMASA Director General; Dr Bashir Jamoh and the President General of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, Comrade Adewale Adeyanju both made the assertion in Lagos at a ceremony  by NIMASA to hand over vehicles to the union as part of the agency Corporate Social Responsibility. The vehicles are a 16-seater bus and one Hilux pick-up van

 

Dr. Jamoh applauded the union for adopting dialogue in ensuring and maintaining peace in the maritime sector, which he said has aided the peace and industrial harmony witnessed in the sector leading to the successes recorded.

 

He stated that in the past few years, the maritime industry has experienced relative peace and harmony, which has been made possible through the instrumentality of the leadership of MWUN.

 

He added that NIMASA is committed to ensuring that the union is equipped with adequate facilities needed to perform its duties judiciously.

 

He also charged the union to continue to support the policies and instruments of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), towards ensuring a better welfare and decent work for the seafarers.

 

“We acknowledge that you have done so much in championing the cause for better wages for Dockworkers, Seafarers and other labour components in the maritime sector. We urge you to continue your stakeholders engagement in achieving implementation of international labour laws to achieve better welfare in consonance with international best practices for workers in the maritime sector”, Jamoh stated.

 

Furthermore, the DG assured that NIMASA would complete the renovation of the headquarters of the Union in order to give it a befitting habitation.

 

On his part, the MWUN President General; Comrade Adeyanju expressed the gratitude of the union to the management of NIMASA, and assured that the union will continue to work closely with the various stakeholders in the sector to ensure continuous progress.

 

Adeyanju also urged terminal operators, government agencies and other major maritime players to emulate NIMASA in the discharge of their CSR projects.

 

The MWUN President General who is also the Deputy President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) commended the leadership of NIMASA under Dr Jamoh urging the Federal Government to consider a second tenure based on performance.

 

“We will continue to play the role of stabilizing the sector. The era of confrontation in the maritime sector is gone, as we have embraced dialogue, which has ensured sustained peace and harmony. The leadership of NIMASA under Bashir Jamoh has excelled in staff welfare, regular staff promotion, and attending to the needs of stakeholders.

 

“Based on performance, Jamoh deserves a second term in office; his achievements speak volume. You made dialogue a way of life here at NIMASA and resolving labour related issues have been seamless under your leadership.

 

“We have had good DGs in the past, but Jamoh is exceptional. We have been watching you and we know you have the track record of fulfilling your promises; we charge you to continue as the union will continue to support the humanitarian policies of your management”, Adeyanju said.
