NPA Assures on Industrial Harmony, as Maritime Workers End Strike
The management of the Nigerian Ports Authority has assured of industrial harmony which came with the suspension of the strike embarked on by members of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria.
Reacting to the suspension of the strike, the management expressed regret over the inconveniences it might have caused Port users and other stakeholders, promising to ensure that issues that led to the strike are resolved soonest in the national interest.
The Union had in a statement Friday announced the suspension of the strike which started on Wednesday and ended on Thursday.
In the statement jointly signed by its President General, Adewale Adeyanju, and the Secretary General, Felix Akingboye said the strike was against the management of the international oil companies who have taken delight in breaking Nigerian laws with impunity.
The Union accused the IOCs of denying dockworkers payment of salaries/wages for the past one year.
Part of the statement read: “We have noted with grave concern that some major stakeholders in the industry who are not in any way involved on why the union embarked on a strike action are adversely affected in their operations”.
