The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has pleaded with members of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria to suspend their planned strike.
The Managing Director of the NPA, Mohammed Bello-Koko, who made the plea in a statement on Monday, said the authority had brokered peace between the union and operators in the oil and gas industry over non-compliance with Stevedoring regulations.
It will be recalled that the MWUN, last week, threatened to shut the nation’s seaports, jetties, and oil and gas platforms on Tuesday (today) over what it described as the continued refusal of the International Oil Companies and Stevedoring Contractors to comply with the Stevedoring Extant Laws, “lack of access to work locations, lack of remittance of 3 per cent MWUN levy by Stevedores,”
