Yousuo said more Nigerian seafarers would enjoy employment following interventions from the International Transport Workers Federation.
He gave this assurance in his Christmas message to members of the association.
According to him, a single collective bargaining agreement and joint monitoring team will be put in place for the wellbeing of Nigerian seamen.
Meanwhile, the seafarers’ national leader called on the Federal Government to prepare adequate protection and compensation to seafarers as the second wave of COVID-19 was gradually infiltrating nations of the world.
Yousuo urged seafarers’ employers to take the welfare of their workers very serious by paying them adequately.
