“MWUN Meets With CRFFN Officials To Foster Collaboration, Strengthen Ties

By prince Benson Davies

President of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, (MWUN), Comrade Adewale Adeyanju accompanied by his executive team, paid a courtesy visit to the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN), fostering collaboration and strengthening ties between the two organizations.

During their visit to CRFFN’s headquarters in Marina, Lagos, the MWUN delegation, led by Comrade Adewale Adeyanju, was briefed on the establishment of a Technical Committee tasked with identifying and addressing challenges hindering the Council’s efficient service delivery. This development was shared with the Union for their prompt input and support.

However, the acting Registrar of CRFFN/CEO, Uromta Chinyere C. (Mrs), did say that it was one of the major reasons the Regulating body had to identify with the Union by affiliate of membership in the Shipping, Clearing & Forwarding Agencies Workers Branch of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, given to the newly created Ministry of Marine & Blue Economy by the President of Nigeria, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCON.

In response to all the enumerated challenges, Dr. Adeyanju thanked the Registrar for her resilience and commitment to duty in carrying out her obligations in the face of difficulty and the biting challenges as explained; and thereby, promised to quickly wave into the matter by engaging with the government and all the necessary revenue generating agencies and stakeholders in the Maritime sector, so as to effectively nip in the board the bottleneck militating against the CRFFN core obligations towards all the agencies under its regulation in the country, and to also effectively manage the day to day administration of the body; even as workers salaries are yet to be paid for over six months running; noting that CRFFN name has been removed from the usual annual budgetry allocations by the federal government; which had practically paralysed all functions of the Regulating body.
