The Maritme Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has announced the passing of one its own, Comrade Taofeek Dabiri, who until his painful death was a Deputy President General (DPG) under the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) branch.
The union under the leadership of President-General, Comrade Francis Bunu Abi described the late comrade as a jolly good fellow, whose lifestyle does not reflect his tribe, given his mode of dressings from day to day until his painful death.
Dabiri was dark in complexion, lanky and was every comrade’s delight, particularly his contemporaries at the high echelon of the Union.
He was a comrade who exhibited excellence, dignity and good manners. His adoring personality makes him stand out and loved by all and sundry.
Comrade Dabiri was a man of a rare quality taste, a very rare breed, whose presence anywhere lightens up the momentum of a place or gathering in a positive light which made people mistake him for a man from Niger-Delta or the Eastern part of Nigeria.
Comrade Bunu ,President -General of MWUN, could not hold back his tears as he expressed regrets for the demise of Comrade Dabiri, one of his reliable and trusted allies in the Union.
He described him as a man of honour, who would always respond to his beck and call at any given time.
”He is a Good man, whose exemplary life cuts across borders, it will be very difficult to erase him from my memories and of the entire Maritme Workers’ Union officers and members in years to come”.
He prayed for the soul of the reposed Dabiri, seeking mercy from the Almighty Allah to grant him Aljannah; also ask the Almighty God to preserve and protect the immediate family he left behind.
