In view of this, the review is not just procedural, it&#8217;s urgent and necessary. The outcome must reflect current realities of international best standards and practices and the peculiar challenges of Nigerian Seafarers operating in coastal offshore and fishery operations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Comrade Francis Bunu Abi, the President -General of the Maritime Workers&#8217; Union of Nigeria also lent his voice on the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), saying that the CBA is the cornerstone of industrial peace and productivity; hence MWUN strongly advocates that collective bargaining agreement should be made an integral part of the compliance check list of Shipowners and mandatory requirements for both requirements of Renewal of operating certificates and Re- registration of vessels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Comrade Bunu also noted that pension remittance for Seafarers should no longer be treated as optional. He, however, call on NIMASA in collaboration with relevant regulatory agencies to strictly enforce mandatory pension remittance for all Seafarers in the coastal, offshore and fishery sectors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Maritime henchman also advocated for a proper review of the NJIC devoid of mere paper signifying nothing; but with a strong purpose of commitment towards establishing a standing committee to monitor the NJIC compliance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The MWUN PG, says that the Union remains committed to dialogue and partnership and progress. He says MWUN believes that through inclusiveness, fairness, and enforcement, Nigeria can build a Maritime sector that meets global standard and protect its most valuable assets &#8211; its people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">E-Signed,<br \/>\nComrade John Kennedy Ikemefuna, Head of Media, MWUN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and Maritime<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20300,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40,442,1327,2509],"tags":[1493,2687,31,32,1485,1297,3279,1388,1326,1784,130,45],"class_list":["post-20298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","category-news-en","category-nigeria-en","category-seafarers","tag-africa-en","tag-daily-news","tag-maritimafrica","tag-maritime","tag-maritime-in-africa","tag-maritime-industry-en","tag-maritime-workers-union-of-nigeria-mwun","tag-news","tag-nigeria-en","tag-nigeria-maritime-administration-and-safety-agency-nimasa","tag-seafarers","tag-shipping-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
