NPA commends MWUN’S support in breaking 15-year long salary stagnation jinx
The Management of NPA has commended the Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MWUN) for the pivotal roles played that led to the success recorded in process of securing approval for increase in the salary of its workers, which had stagnated since 2008
Commenting when he received letter referenced MWUN/MD/NPA/RFC/23 dated 6th March, 2023 signed by the Secretary General MWUN expressing appreciation to the Management of the Authority for the increment in the salary of its members, Managing Director/CEO NPA, Mohammed Bello Koko said, “breaking the jinx of salary stagnation suffered for over a decade by the Authority’s employees was made possible with the support of the MWUN, and we remain appreciative”.
He added that “this critical support from MWUN has buoyed us to intensify our relentless drive towards continuous improvement in the welfare of our esteemed workers in ways not limited to monthly salary alone”.
It will be recalled that the NPA Managing Director had in November 2022 been accompanied by the President General MWUN, Comrade Adewale Adeyanju to pay an advocacy visit to headquarters of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) to solicit the NLC’s solidarity towards increase in NPA workers’ salaries.
