MWUN Leadership Holds Strategic Meeting with NPA Managing Director
The newly elected leadership of the Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MWUN) paid a courtesy visit to the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, at the agency’s Marina headquarters in Lagos on Wednesday.
Led by President-General Comrade Francis Bunu Abi, the union’s executive team met with Dr. Dantsoho and senior NPA officials in a session aimed at fostering collaboration between the two maritime stakeholders.
Speaking during the visit, Comrade Bunu emphasized the importance of strengthening the working relationship between the union and the ports authority.
“This visit is necessary to acquaint ourselves with each other, as the union and the Ports Authority are partners in progress in the maritime sector.
Both organizations cannot work in isolation,” he stated.
The MWUN leader also congratulated Dr. Dantsoho on Nigeria’s recent election to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Category ‘C’ Council seat, secured through the efforts of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Honourable Adegboyega Oyetola.
Describing the achievement as “laudable and giant,” Comrade Bunu said: “It’s a bold and fruitful step that has been achieved for the progress and advancement of Nigeria’s maritime industry.”
In his response, Dr. Dantsoho thanked the MWUN delegation and pledged continued collaboration with the union to enhance Nigeria’s maritime sector. He expressed commitment to making the country’s maritime industry “a hub of activities both locally and globally.”
The meeting underscores the importance of stakeholder engagement in driving growth within Nigeria’s maritime domain, as both organizations seek to advance the sector’s development agenda.
