The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria said it will join the two-day nationwide protest being organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

This was contained in a statement by the Head of Media of the Union, KENNEDY IKEMEFUNA.

IKEMEFUNA said the move was necessary following the directive of NLC that its affiliate members across the nation should strictly comply.

He added that the protest is coming against the backdrop of the Federal Government’s refusal to honour the October 2023 agreement signed with the congress.

He believes that if the agreement had been honoured and implemented, it would have gone a long way to relieve the sufferings and hardships of the ill-conceived and ill-implemented policies.
