Labour Strike: Maritime Workers Shut Down Ports Nationwide

In compliance with the nationwide strike action declared by the Organised Labour, the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN), has shut down ports operations across the country.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) had on Friday directed workers to embark on the industrial action to demand increased minimum wage and reversal of recently increased electricity tarrifs.

An official of the Union told journalists on Monday that all port formations in Port harcourt, Warri, Onne, Calabar and others have been shut down.

The union leader who did not want to be named, added that the ports would remain closed until officers are instructed otherwise by the labour leaders.
