\n

The Nigerian Merchant Navy Officers and Water Transport Senior Staff Association has decried the late payment of salaries of local seafarers, by their employers.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n

The National President of the Senior Seafarers Cadre, Comrade Bob Yousou, made this known in his Workers\u2019 Day celebration speech, made available to newsmen on Sunday in Lagos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yousou likened the treatment of seafarers by their employers, ship owners and manning agents to slavery arrangement.<\/p>\n

Yousou said that while their foreign counterparts in Nigeria\u2019s territorial waters get preferential treatment in early payment of salaries, the Nigerian seafarers\u2019 salaries are unnecessarily delayed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe average Nigerian worker\u2019s standard of living is poor and the non-existence of Collective Bargaining Agreement<\/a> (CBA) for seafarers in most of the shipping companies is discouraging.<\/p>\n

\u201cBemoaning the spate of kidnapping, ritual killings, drug trafficking and banditry in the country, there is need for government to tackle security challenges in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of efforts at reducing foreign dominance in the nation\u2019s maritime sector, the Federal Government should promote local content and Cabotage Act,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He charged government to checkmate the influx of foreign seafarers into the maritime space of the country, adding that lack of enforcement of Cabotage Act had led to unemployment among Nigerian seafarers.<\/p>\n

The national president, however, promised that the union would continue to support the policies of the government for efficiency in the sector.<\/p>\n

While congratulating seafarers, he appealed to them, that there was still hope for development of the country, irrespective of the present state of insecurity.<\/p>\n

His words, \u201cWe must be united to fight our common enemies, the slave master of our time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe as International Transport Workers\u2019 Federation ( ITF) affiliate, will use this opportunity to request that the Federal Government of Nigeria considers floating a national carrier.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a national carrier, cadets can have sea time training, carry Nigeria<\/a> cargoes, thereby reducing capital freight, reduce unemployment, as well as the pride of the nation, as the maritime hub in West Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
