Following his exit from office as the President-General of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) recently, stakeholders in the nation’s maritime industry have taken the opportunity to reflect on the achievements of Comrade Adewale Adeyanju during his eight years in office.

His leadership has been widely praised for fostering stability, peace, and growth within the union and the broader maritime sector.

In a chat with our correspondent, Mr. Segun Oduntan, the Vice President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), commended Adeyanju for his exemplary leadership.

According to Oduntan, Adeyanju’s character and managerial skills were instrumental in bringing peace to a once-turbulent maritime environment. “No doubt about it, he has done excellently well for both himself and the maritime industry. He is a manager of men, and he was able to bring peace to the arena,” Oduntan remarked, noting how Adeyanju’s approach significantly enhanced the working dynamics within the industry.

Speaking also, Capt. Tajudeen Alao, President Nigerian Association of Masters Mariners (NAMM), described Adeyanju as an “achiever,” highlighting several key accomplishments from his tenure.

Alao pointed to Adeyanju’s role in ensuring industrial harmony within the ports, fostering peace among all branches of MWUN, and facilitating reconciliation between past and present union executives. “There were too many positives under his watch, such as industrial harmony in port operations and peace among all branches of MWUN. He was also instrumental in the collective agreements between ship owners, seafarers, and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA),” Alao explained. Additionally, Adeyanju’s efforts in integrating workers on offshore platforms into the union were also praised.

Bob Yousuo, President of the Nigerian Merchant Navy and Water Transport, also offered high praise for Adeyanju, acknowledging his contribution to strengthening both MWUN and the maritime industry as a whole. “He has made the image of MWUN a golden bride in the maritime sector. Before, people used to say we are not much of a union, but now the MWUN has become a highly respected body that everyone looks up to,” Youssou stated. He also recognized Adeyanju’s successful collaboration with the Nigerian Merchant Navy, which played a significant role in the sector’s growth.

On his part, Mr Babatunde Mukaila, a former National Secretary of ANLCA, further lauded Adeyanju, drawing comparisons between his tenure and that of other influential maritime leaders.

“Eight years under Adeyanju is comparable to that of Prince Shittu of ANLCA. He succeeded in keeping MWUN in the limelight and transitioned the union from a cantankerous, aluta-driven organization into a constructive economic partner for maritime employers”, Mukaila said. One of Adeyanju’s most significant achievements, according to Mukaila, was his successful negotiation of a ₦200,000 minimum entry-level salary for workers in shipping companies.

Mukaila also praised Adeyanju’s ability to build strong, collaborative relationships with key industry stakeholders. “His interpersonal and agency collaborative relationship with critical stakeholders is second to none. I want to doff my cap for him,” Mukaila concluded.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
