MWUN PG, BUNU HOSTS GMT MD, MAGUIRE

The President – General of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN), Comrade Francis Bunu Abi, recently played host to the Managing Director of GMT, Tim Maguire at the Maritime Workers Union Secretariat, Osho Drive, Olodi Apapa, Lagos.

GMT, a Shipping Company in Nigeria is situated in Apapa, Lagos. The MD, Maguire, has been a long time friend of the Union with his management, his decision to pay a courtesy visit to the newly elected PG of the Union, Comrade Bunu, over his recent election victory and also to show solidarity and support of GMT towards his leadership.

Maguire described Comrade Bunu as a refined Labour leader and astute Maritime Expert, whose immense contributions towards the Maritime Sector, even before ascending his new designation cannot be overemphasized. He further explained that the new PG of the Union is a complete gentleman with integrity that has been put to test over time; hence, the quest of management of GMT to continue to foster its existing relationship with the Union, believing that GMT and the Union have come a long way and will continue to partner each other for the progress of the sector amongst other reasons he came for the visit and to also bring this message of goodwill to the President – General of the Union.

The Delta State born seasoned Administrator, labour leader and astute Sailor thanked Mr. Maguire for his timely visit, while pledging that the mutual benefits from the relationship both bodies have enjoyed will wax stronger, stressing that government is a continuum, provided that GMT will continue to uphold its workers friendly policies which of course is the bedrock of the Union’s interest at all times in the industry.

Comrade Bunu emphasized that the only way the leadership of the Union could go against any company in the Maritime Sector is when Workers are treated with a “Lepers’ hand, and that’s one of the major reasons, the Union will not be friendly with any company in the industry. He further buttressed his reasons by saying that the Union will take any company serious only if and when the interests of workers welfares are not marginalized or shortchanged; saying that the Union Workers have been trained to give their optimum output each time they’re on duty; hence, the Union would always discipline erring workers anytime they are found wanting.
