The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) and the Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporation and Government Owned Companies (SSASCGOC) have threatened to shut down the nation’s ports due to a breach of the N200,000 minimum wage agreement made with shipping companies.
During a joint briefing in Lagos, leaders of MWUN and SSASCGOC announced their intention to cripple operations across all ports, terminals, jetties, and oil and gas platforms nationwide. They accused Hull Blyth Shipping Company of deliberately refusing to comply with the N200,000 minimum wage that was signed by both unions and the shipping companies, under the supervision of Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola.
