Minimum Wage: Dockworkers’ Wages Rise To N150, 000 by akelicious(m): 5:11am On Nov 27, 2018 |
President-general of the Maritime Workers Union (MWUN), Comrade Adewale Adeyanju, at the weekend said private terminal operators at the nation’s seaports have substantially increased the wages earned by dockworkers from an average of N10,000 before the 2006 port concession to about N150,000. Adeyanju, who stated this while speaking with newsmen in Lagos, said dockworkers now enjoy much better working condition compared to what was obtained in the pre-concession era. According to him, “Before concession, they are just using us as slaves in our fatherland. Nobody knew what his take home pay would be. Sometimes, some people get between N10, 000 and N20, 000 per month but today, it has improved tremendously to between N100, 000 and N150, 000.” Adeyanju, who lauded terminal operators for increasing the wages of dockworkers in spite of the low volume of import in the country, appealed to the Federal Government to urgently fix the dilapidated port access roads, which, he said, is adversely affecting port operation and the nation’s economy. The roads to the seaports, according to him, are bad and because of that some of the vessels that are supposed to come to the port are sometimes diverted to neighbouring countries. “Some of the dockworkers are on payment by tonnage; some are on permanent employment while some are on unit payment. For those on payment by tonnage, it is the higher the tonnage, the better payment for them so the bad road is affecting our members,” he pointed out. The union leader, however, appealed to the terminal operators to urgently sign the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for a review of retirement benefit for dockworkers. To him, “We are not being rigid in negotiations so that we can accommodate both the employer and the employee. We are not demanding so much because we felt all of us are working together. If the economy is improved, the lives of the workers will also improve. We don’t want to be rigid in our negotiation and that is what is causing the delay now. https://leadership.ng/2018/11/27/minimum-wage-dockworkers-wages-rise-to-n150-000/ 2 Likes

Concessions means private sector involvement building, financing, owning and operating government owned facilities, with obligation to hand it back to the state after a specified time. Concessions, privatisation, and outright sales of government assets turned liabilities are ways governments free themselves up and avoid pouring tax payers monies down the drain. It is the only way government businesses can work in Nigeria and this is a classical example. Every other person understands this except Buhari and his Zombies 42 Likes 5 Shares |

Sowore is teaching these people how to rule Nigerian why don’t we give him a chance. This government knows they can increase salary of workers to 150k yet they’re paying them 10k That’s delebrate wickedness, if Sowore didn’t say anything people would have continued in their suffering and smiling.

TheGreenLand:Lol this my friend... You need to go back and get refund of all the monies your people spent on sending you to school. But before then, read the post again. Try to understand what concession means. Know what year 2006 was. Know who was president then. And then.... Give yourself sense. 23 Likes 3 Shares |

If we have minimum wages...I think there should be maximum too... And governors and Senators should be the least earning including bonuses and allowance... Ambode shouldn't earn more than lawma officials.... We know they'll still Ganduje money somehow...but let's start from there. |
