A showdown is looming in Nigerian ports as organized labour in the maritime sector has rejected a planned 50 per cent deduction from the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) into the Federation Account.
The labour unions under the aegis of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria MWUN, and the Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government Owned Companies, SSASCGOC, NPA branch warned that if this is done, it portends great danger for port operations and development amongst others.
Rather, the unions advocated for 30 percent IGR deduction.
