The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) and shipping companies under the Shipping, Shipping Agencies, Clearing and Forwarding Employers Association (SACFEA) have reached an agreement on setting minimum standards for workers’ conditions in the shipping industry
This agreement comes after nearly 20 years of struggle and unsuccessful negotiations.
The Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) played an important role in helping both sides finally agree on the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which now sets the standard for workers’ pay and benefits in Nigeria’s shipping industry.
The signing event was attended by key figures, including the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, CEOs of major shipping companies in Nigeria, MWUN President-General Prince Adewale Adeyanju, Union Secretary-General Felix Akingboye, and other MWUN officials.
Minister Oyetola highlighted that the agreement shows the government’s commitment to protecting workers’ rights and welfare.
