Unity is our Strength : Comrade Owolabi Speaks on Justice, Safety and Welfare of Workers on Lagos Waterways
An Exclusive Interview with Comrade Omotayo Patrick Owolabi, Chairman, Lagos Commercial Private Boat District, Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria
By Oghenewoke Osaweren | Labour and trade Union Correspondent | March 2026
Sequel to Comrade Larry’s Interview — in which he highlighted the need for cooperation between workers and boat owners — we turn our attention to the man at the helm of the district, the newly elected chairman. Comrade Omotayo Patrick Owolabi is an experienced union leader whose voice carries the weight of thousands of boat workers whose daily lives and livelihoods play out on the waterways of Lagos. In this exclusive interview, he speaks candidly about the challenges face by members of the union, the future of boat workers in Nigeria, and his expectation of a safer, more just waterway sector.
Q: Comrade Chairman, you now lead the Lagos Commercial Private Boat District after years in the movement. What does this chairmanship mean to you personally, and to the thousands of workers who look to you for direction?
A: Thank you for this opportunity to speak directly to our members and to the public. This chairmanship is not a trophy — it is a burden I carry with both hands. When I look at the faces of our boat workers at the jetties of Marina, Apapa, Ikorodu, Badore,Epe and Badagry , I see people who wake up before dawn, who risk their lives on the waterways every single day, and who go home at night unsure of tomorrow. That responsibility humbles me. I did not take this seat to enrich myself. I took it because someone has to stand in the gap. Our members deserve a chairman who will lose sleep over their welfare, and I intend to be that man.
Q: Your colleague Comrade Larry recently spoke of the need for workers and boat owners to learn to work together. As chairman of this district, how do you view that relationship between labour and capital on the Lagos waterways?
A: Comrade Larry spoke well, and I align fully with his position. The waterways of Lagos are not owned by any single man — they belong to the people, to commerce, to the history of this city. Boat owners bring capital and vessels (boats); our members bring skill, discipline, and their very lives. Neither can function without the other. But let me be frank, cooperation does not mean submission. It does not mean that workers should accept exploitation in the name of peace. True partnership requires mutual respect, fair wages, and decent working conditions. When boat owners fulfil their obligations to our members, they will find in us the most dedicated and loyal workforce in this country. We want harmony — but it must be a harmony built on justice.
Q: Safety remains a persistent concern on Lagos waterways. Overloading, poorly maintained vessels, lack of life jackets — these issues have claimed many lives. What concrete steps is the union taking to address this?
A: The deaths on our waterways are sometimes not by accidents — they are consequences of neglect. When a boat capsizes because it was overloaded beyond capacity that is not an act of God. That is the result of greed, poor regulation, and the absence of enforceable safety standards. Our union has been at the forefront of demanding that every boat owner who intends to operate his or her boat on the waterways of Lagos should provide in the boat, certified standard life jackets for every passenger. We have engaged the National Inland Waterways Authority, NIWA and the Lagos State Waterways Authority, LASWA. We are pushing for regular safety audits and for operators who violate safety standards to face real consequences. I am also calling on the Federal Government to take maritime safety on inland waterways as seriously as they take aviation safety. A life lost on the Lagos lagoon is no less precious than a life lost on an aeroplane that is why we are also advocating that the boat ferry transportation to be included in the disbursement of the CVFF fund for boat operators to access and acquire standard modern boats on a prescribed lenient condition by the government, it will go a long way to enhance safety on our waterways because the rickety boats will be removed significantly from the waterways. I will use this media engagement opportunity to commend the effort of NIWA Lagos Area Manager in the person of Engr Sarat Braimah for providing a platform for the training and licensing of some boat captain (workers) recently in Lagos State for free. This will certainly enhance their capability for safety on the waterways. We in the Union really appreciate that act from the NIWA Area Manager. I will also commend the efforts of LASWA General Manager in the person of Mr Damilola Emmanuel who always engage the union over Lagos state waterways development projects. I commend these two government agencies for their swift respond to boat emergencies on Lagos inland waterways by promptly deploying rescue teams to scenes of boat mishaps
Q: Many boat workers lack basic welfare coverage — no health insurance, no pension, and no formal contracts with their employers. How is the union fighting for these workers’ rights?
A: This is one of the most urgent battles we are fighting. The majority of our members exist in a shadow economy — no paper, no protection. Boat captains, engine operators, ticketing staff, jetty hands — they work for years and have nothing to show for it when they are injured or when they grow old. We have been in dialogue with the relevant authorities and with the Boat Owners Associations to establish a contributory welfare scheme. We want every worker in this district registered, documented, and covered. Under my chairmanship, we have begun a registration drive across all our terminals. We are building a database of our members so that we can negotiate from a position of knowledge and strength. No employer should be able to tell us there are no workers when we come to the table — we will bring the names, the numbers, and the facts. The rights, privileges, security, safety and welfare of the boat workers on our waterways needs to be discussed with relevant stakeholders including government agencies.
Q: Irregular and withheld wages remain a common complaint. How does the union intervene when members report that their earnings have been seized or delayed?
A: This is unacceptable, and we treat every such report with the seriousness it deserves. Our district has a grievance management procedure. When a member reports wage non payment — we first engage the boat owner directly. We give them an opportunity to correct the wrong. If they refuse or delay, we escalate the issue. We are not afraid to mobilize our members, and boat owners know that a jetty without workers is a jetty with no business. But I want to be clear: we do not use industrial action as a first resort. We are responsible leaders. We pursue dialogue, then arbitration, and only when all else fails to correct the situation that we exercise our legitimate rights as organized labour. What we will never do is remain silent while our people are cheated.
Q: The Lagos waterway is being described as an underutilized economic asset. Do you see the commercial boat sector playing a bigger role in Lagos transportation, and what must happen for that potential to be realized?
A: Lagos state has the most extensive network of inland waterway in West Africa. The road congestion in this city — the gridlock that steals hours from people’s lives every day — can be significantly relieved by a modern, efficient waterway transport system. But to get there, we need investment. We need modern ferry boats, proper terminals with amenities, trained and certified boat workers, and a serious regulatory framework. Our members are ready. They have the experience and the commitment. What is needed is political will from government and responsible investment from the private sector. There is the multi-billion naira aqua tourism economy potentials of Lagos state that remains grossly untapped. I commend the Lagos state Government under the leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu on the state’s efforts to invite investors to the Lagos waterways through projects such as the OMI-BUS project and OMI-EKO electric ferries project. I am convinced that when all stakeholders come together with organized labour at the table, we can transform the Lagos waterways.
Q: There are concerns about the proliferation of unregistered boats and unlicensed operators. How does this affect your members, and what is the union’s position on regulation?
A: Unregistered boats and unlicensed operators are a threat to everyone — to passengers, to legitimate operators, and most importantly to our members who follow the rules. When a cowboy operator undercuts proper fares, endangers passengers, and try to escape consequences, it creates pressure on legitimate operators to cut corners too. It undermines the standards we have fought hard to establish. The union fully supports a robust licensing and registration regime — provided it is applied fairly and transparently, and not used as an instrument of harassment or extortion by officials. We want regulation that protects workers and passengers alike, and we want to be part of the process. The union must have a seat at the table when regulations are being designed, not just when we are being told to comply.
Q: What message do you have for boat owners who remain hostile to union activities and who attempt to intimidate workers seeking to exercise their rights?
A: My message is simple and I will say it plainly: the era of treating boat workers with disdain is over. This is the 21st century. Our members have rights enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution and in the Nigeria Labour Act. Any boat owner who victimizes a worker for joining this union, for attending union meetings, or for speaking up about unsafe conditions will face the full weight of our legal and industrial response. We document everything. We have members who are now learning their basic rights these days, and we have solidarity across districts. I also want to say to those boat owners who have embraced responsible partnership with the union — we see you, we appreciate you, and we will work with you to build a prosperous and sustainable waterway sector. It does not have to be adversarial. We choose partnership.
Q: As you look ahead, what is your primary vision for the Lagos Commercial Private Boat District under your chairmanship?
A: My vision is a district where every single member can go to work with dignity and return home safely. I want a district where boat workers are not ashamed to say what they do — where being a waterway worker is a respected profession with a career structure, training pathways, fair pay, and social protection. I want to build the institutional capacity of this district so that long after I am gone, the structure remains to serve the next generation of workers. We are putting in place mentorship programmes, working with NGO’s, technical institutions on certification courses for boat operators and engineers, and establishing channels of continuous dialogue with government agencies and employers. We are into talks with an NGO called SWAAADO over this same training, licensing and waterways safety sensitization. This is not about Owolabi. This is about the movement.
Q: Finally, Comrade Chairman, what is your direct message to the workers of the Lagos Commercial Private Boat District — the men and women on the waterways every day?
A: To our members on the waterways— the boat captains and deckhand who navigate the lagoon everyday, the engine operators who keep those vessels(boats) moving, the ticketing staff who face the crowds at the jetties, the cleaners and the loaders and every hand that makes this industry work — I say to you: you are seen. You are not invisible. Your sacrifices are not in vain. This union belongs to you, not to me. I am your servant in this office. Stay united, know your basic rights, participate in the union activities, and trust the process we are building together. The road is not easy, but we are walking it together to success. No condition is permanent. A better day is coming for the Lagos waterways and to all our members with the support from our great Union, the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria-MWUN under the able and charismatic leadership of our President General Comrade Francis Bunu,we will build a better future with our own hands for the waterways workers. Thank you.
Comrade Omotayo Patrick Owolabi is the Chairman of the Lagos Commercial Private Boat District of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN). This interview was conducted on March 16 2026 as part of an ongoing leadership interview series with key figures in Nigeria’s waterway transport sector.

MWUN Renews Grassroots Leadership Across Ten Lagos Waterway Units in Simultaneous Elections
MWUN Renews Grassroots Leadership Across Ten Lagos Waterway Units in Simultaneous Elections
Lagos Commercial Private Boat District conducts constitutional polls at key jetties from Mile 2-Mazamaza, through Liverpool-Apapa, to Ebute-Ero Lagos Island, ushering in fresh four-year mandates
By Oghenewoke Onoriode| Waterways News Reporter, Lagos | March 28, 2026
The Lagos Commercial Private Boat District of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) on Saturday 28 March 2026, conducted simultaneous elections across ten units and jetties on the Lagos inland waterways, producing new executive committees that will govern each unit for the next four years in line with the MWUN Constitution.
The exercise spanned some of the busiest waterfront communities in the state, covering Liverpool Jetty, Ejalonibu, Irede Jetty, Allens Jetty, Tie-Gate Jetty, Ebute-Ero Jetty, Ojo-Sifax Jetty, Coconut/Unity Jetty, Ijegun-Egba Jetty, and Mile 2-Mazamaza Jetty units.

Outgoing Structures Dissolved Before Polls
In a procedural step that set the tone for transparency, District Secretary Comrade Osaweren O. Larry formally moved to dissolve all existing executive committees ahead of the vote. The motion was proposed by Comrade Samuel Folarin, seconded by Comrade Babamagaji, and subsequently adopted — clearing the path for clean, unencumbered elections across all participating units.
Irede Jetty Officers
For units not immediately prepared to proceed, Comrade Larry announced that caretaker committees would be constituted, with a firm three-month ceiling on their operation. Affected units must hold their elections within that window.
Chairman Calls for Integrity at the Helm
Delivering the opening address, District Chairman Comrade Omotayo Patrick Owolabi charged all emerging unit chairmen to lead with integrity, professionalism, and a clear sense of duty to their members. He urged incoming officers to subordinate personal interests to the welfare of the union and its rank and file as they settle into their new responsibilities.

Why This Matters for the Lagos Waterways
The Lagos inland waterways are among the most heavily utilised transport corridors in West Africa, moving tens of thousands of commuters and cargo daily across a network of jetties that stretch from the Lagos Lagoon to the creeks of Ijegun-Egba and beyond. Unit-level leadership within MWUN is not ceremonial — these executives are the first line of advocacy for boat crew welfare, safety compliance at jetty terminals, and orderly day-to-day operations on the water.
Elected officers of Tie-gate Jetty
With fresh mandates now in place, maritime stakeholders along the waterfront will be watching to see whether the new committees can drive stronger enforcement of safety protocols, sharper welfare representation, and better coordination with the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) and the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) on operational matters.

Nigeria Watch
The renewal of unit leadership within MWUN’s Lagos district comes at a moment of heightened attention on inland waterway governance. NIWA and LASWA have both signalled intentions to tighten regulation of commercial boat operations in Lagos, including vessel certification, operator licensing, and jetty safety standards. Strong, democratically legitimate union structures at the grassroots level will be essential counterparts in those regulatory conversations — giving boat workers a credible voice in policy processes that directly affect their livelihoods and the safety of the millions of Lagosians who rely on waterway transport daily.
A cross section of delegates
The Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy will also be keen to see MWUN’s internal democracy functioning robustly, as any future push to expand the Cabotage framework or formalise inland waterway labour standards will require organised, accountable worker representation from the jetty level upward.

MWUN to Oyetola: Restore Tally Clerks, Gangway Guards or Risk Port Security Collapse
By Okeoghene Onoriobe | Waterways News Correspondent, Lagos
The Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria has urged the Federal Government to urgently reinstate tally clerks and gangway security personnel across the country’s seaports and jetties, warning that their continued absence is fuelling cargo under-declaration, contraband smuggling, and a creeping breakdown of port labour discipline.
In a petition addressed to the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, MWUN Secretary-General Oniha Erazua described the situation as a critical challenge confronting Nigeria’s maritime sector — one with serious consequences for both national revenue and port security.
Operators Flouting Labour Laws
The union’s petition flagged the absence of tally clerks and gangway security men as the entry point for a wider compliance crisis. According to MWUN, the vacuum has allowed some terminal operators to sidestep the Stevedoring Regulations 2014 by deploying unregistered dockworkers — a practice the union says undermines the legal frameworks governing maritime labour.
The union warned that without tally clerks physically counting and verifying cargo manifests at berth, under-declaration of goods has become routine, resulting in substantial revenue losses to the Federal Government
Arms, Contraband Moving Freely
On the security front, MWUN’s alarm is equally stark. The petition states that the absence of gangway security personnel — whose role is to control vessel access and monitor crew and visitor movement — has enabled the unchecked flow of arms and contraband through port gates and vessel gangways.
The union disclosed that no fewer than 243 operational jetties across Nigeria are currently running without adequate supervision from either the Nigerian Ports Authority or the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency — a figure that points to systemic regulatory failure well beyond the major commercial ports at Apapa and Tin Can.
A Central Labour Pool Under NIMASA
MWUN’s recommendations are specific. The union is calling on Minister Oyetola to initiate executive action for the immediate restoration of the affected workers across all ports and to establish a central labour pool — to be managed by NIMASA — for the structured engagement and deployment of tally clerks and gangway guards.
It also wants both NIMASA and NPA directed to recruit and deploy dedicated monitoring officers to enforce compliance across ports, dry ports, bonded terminals, and jetties nationwide.
Third Appeal in Four Years
The petition is not MWUN’s first. The union noted that similar representations were made in 2021 and 2023 through stakeholder memoranda and formal correspondences, but said the issue remains unresolved. The union expressed cautious optimism that the current minister would act where his predecessors have not.
Nigeria Watch (Maritime & Blue Economy Implications)
For port operators, terminal concessionaires, and freight forwarders, the MWUN petition puts a number — 243 unsupervised jetties — on what the industry has long known anecdotally: regulatory presence at Nigeria’s secondary and riverine ports is thin to nonexistent.
The tally clerk question is particularly consequential for cargo interests. Tally clerks serve as an independent check on vessel manifests, providing a human audit layer that customs declarations and electronic cargo tracking systems alone cannot replicate. Their absence creates conditions in which short-landing — the gap between what is manifested and what is physically delivered — goes undetected, with losses borne by importers, consignees, and ultimately the government’s import duty receipts.
For NIMASA, the call to manage a central labour pool represents both an opportunity and a test. The agency has been under sustained pressure to demonstrate operational relevance beyond regulatory enforcement. Taking on the coordination of a pooled workforce of tally clerks and gangway guards would expand its port-level footprint — but would require funding, administrative capacity, and political will that have historically been in short supply.
The gangway security dimension also intersects directly with NPA’s port access control mandate and with NIMASA’s obligations under the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code. If arms and contraband are moving through gangways at Nigerian ports with the frequency MWUN implies, the liability exposure — reputational and regulatory — extends beyond labour relations into Nigeria’s international maritime compliance standing.

OPINION: When Seafarers Die, Condolences Are Not Enough — The World Must Do Better
OPINION: When Seafarers Die, Condolences Are Not Enough — The World Must Do Better
By Sunil Kapoor | Adapted for Waterways News
Merchant ships are burning at sea. Not warships. Not naval vessels. Ordinary commercial ships — carrying cargo that keeps the global economy turning — crewed by civilian seafarers simply doing their jobs.
Following the latest wave of attacks on merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez issued a statement expressing deep concern over seafarer casualties, reaffirming that attacks on innocent civilian shipping are unjustifiable under international maritime law. The words were appropriate. But they were also familiar.
Every time a merchant ship is attacked — every time a seafarer loses his life in someone else’s geopolitical conflict — the same kind of statements appear. What is never quite clear is what those statements mean for the man standing watch tonight on the bridge.
When the System Failed: Lessons from Covid
The pandemic offered a sobering preview of how badly the protective system around seafarers can break down under pressure.
Governments insisted that no seafarer could remain aboard beyond twelve months. Port state authorities enforced this strictly. Yet those same governments often refused to issue visas for incoming crew, or declined to allow serving crew to disembark. The result was an impossible catch-22: the rules demanded crew changes that the system made impossible to execute.
Ships began carrying relief crew who had joined but could not replace their predecessors — seafarers already beyond their contract limits continued sailing as unofficial “passengers.” On paper, compliance. In reality, a fiction everyone accepted.
One incident from that period stands as a symbol of the system’s failure. A vessel arrived in port carrying the body of a seafarer who had died onboard. His remains, kept in the ship’s freezer, were refused permission to be landed at port after port. The crew sailed on — carrying their dead colleague — while his family thousands of miles away waited for a funeral that could not happen.
War, Missiles, and the Weight on Nigerian Seafarers
When Russia invaded Ukraine, merchant vessels were suddenly trapped in Ukrainian ports as missiles fell around them. The crew aboard those ships were commercial seafarers — not soldiers. Yet the burden of getting them home fell almost entirely on ship managers and the seafarers themselves.
Today, the Strait of Hormuz has become a new crisis point. In March 2024, the bulk carrier True Confidence was struck by a missile off Yemen. Three seafarers were killed. They were not combatants. They were doing their jobs. The damaged vessel drifted for months before any port agreed to receive it.
Now more than 1,000 ships are reported stuck or transiting the strait under threat. Some political voices have publicly urged shipowners to show courage and sail through. But bravado spoken in political offices lands on the shoulders of masters and crew — people for whom the danger is not rhetorical.
When an incident happens and a seafarer dies, a basic question deserves an answer: who gave the order to sail? On what assessment was that instruction based? A vessel may be insured. Cargo may be insured. A human life cannot be replaced.
Nigeria Watch: What This Means for Our Maritime Sector
Nigeria has significant stakes in this conversation. A substantial number of Nigerian seafarers serve aboard international merchant vessels, including those transiting high-risk corridors like the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and now the Strait of Hormuz. When geopolitical conflict puts commercial shipping in the crosshairs, Nigerian families are among those waiting at home.
Closer to our shores, the Gulf of Guinea has its own long record of attacks on merchant vessels — piracy, kidnapping for ransom, armed robbery at sea — where seafarers have repeatedly borne the human cost of systemic failures. NIMASA, the Nigerian Navy, and the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy have invested in frameworks like the Deep Blue Project to address maritime insecurity in our region. But the broader question raised by Kapoor applies here too: when seafarers are endangered, does the response match the rhetoric?
The industry has repeatedly demonstrated that it can organise practical solutions in emergencies — repatriating crew, rerouting vessels, supporting families — when official structures move too slowly. That should not be the norm.
Ninety percent of world trade moves by sea. Nigeria’s import-dependent economy, its crude oil exports, and its ambitions as a blue economy hub all rest on the safety and welfare of seafarers. Behind every crew list is a family waiting for a safe return.
Statements of concern will keep being issued after every tragedy. But for the families of seafarers who do not come home, the message from this industry must be unambiguous: statements are not enough.
