The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has emphasised the need for biometric identification cards for the Dockworkers and Seafararers branches of the Union bonafide members, who are legitimately working in the sector across all the seaports of the country.
According to a press release signed by Comrade John Kennedy Ikemefuna, the MWUN Head of Media, during a courtesy visit by the President-General of the Union, Comrade Francis Bunu Abi, in company of his national executives to the Nigerian Maritime and Safety Agency (NIMASA), on August 28, 2025, Bunu told the NIMASA Director-General , Dr. Dayo Mobereola that the biometric registration and identitification of all bonafide members of the Union employed by various employers of labour in the Maritime industry will definitely separate the legitimately employed Dockworkers and Seafararers from the illegal ones parading themselves and functioning as “Dockworkers and Seafararers” simultaneously as members of the Union, which does not portray MWUN in any good light.
He explained to the DG of NIMASA the importance of the biometric identification cards for the two branches of the Union, saying that proper documentation of the Union’s registered Dockworkers and Seafararers working in the seaports would identify the members from the quacks as this measure will guarantee the ports some sort of safety from theft and pilfering of goods and consignments of owners, exporters and importers, which is an impedement to a good business ports environment.
Comrade Bunu also promised Dr. Dayo Mobereola of the Union’s usual maximum support and cooperation as it were, citing the longtime collaboration between the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) and Maritime Workers Union on the need to build a Seafararers Recreation Center in Apapa choice location for the betterment of Seafararers each time the sailors arrive ashore from sea , as they need quality life on land for recreation, which is an integral part of life. It will not only serve the Union members but as well the general public who may choose center, which of course would generate economic dividend for the Union.
Dr. Mobereola in his response assured the PG of the Union of NIMASA’s commitment towards the project which was struck with his predecessor and promised that his administration will ensure that its quota to the laudable project will be honored as agreed on paper.
He thanked the Union for the purposeful visit while, congratulating Comrade Bunu for his landslide election victory and hope to continue to witness a flourishing synergy between both significant bodies in the Maritime sector of Nigeria.
