The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has stated that it will embark on a three-day warning strike from today, December 7, to protest the deplorable state of access roads to seaports in Lagos State.
This was contained in a communique issued by the union after its national executive council meeting in Lagos at the weekend. The MWUN said the situation was no longer tolerable.
The communique was signed by the president-general of the union, Adewale Adeyanju, and the secretary-general, Felix Akingboye.
It said that the poor state of the access roads had made articulated vehicles to block them, putting other road users through pains of losing man-hours and facing risks of accidents.
MWUN said that it’s NEC in-session unanimously approved the central working committee’s recommendation that the union proceeds on a three-day warning strike to make known its disappointment over the total neglect of the access roads to Lagos ports by successive governments, and the urgent need for government to repair the roads.
The union said that response from the government would determine its next line of action after the warning strike.
