Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, MWUN, has decried the protracted delay in the payment of pensions and terminal benefits to the former employees of the defunct Nigerian National Shipping Line, NNSL, lamenting that the affected ex-NNSL staff have been going through untold hardships leading to untimely deaths.
In a communique issued at the end of its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Lagos, President-General of the Union, Prince Adeyanju Adewale, among others, lamented that it appeared the agency of the Federal Government responsible for the payment of pensions and terminal benefits of the affected senior citizens had abandoned them to suffer and die.
