The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) shut down port operations across the country on Monday in compliance with a strike directive from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC).
An official from MWUN told Vanguard that, in addition to the Lagos ports, all other port facilities in Port Harcourt, Warri, Onne, Calabar, and other locations have been closed until further notice.
The official stated that the ports will remain closed until new instructions are received from the national leadership of organized labor.
The shutdown is part of a broader strike action initiated by organized labor on Monday in response to the federal government’s failure to implement the proposed national minimum wage.
