The highly respected and energetic Deputy President General [DPG], Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria [MWUN], Comrade Francis Bunu, on Tuesday June 25th, 2024, congratulated Seafarers on the Day of the Seafarers. 


The MWUN DPG, in his statement stated that the Day of the Seafarer is a time to celebrate and recognize the two million people around the world who operate the ships that carry more than 80% of the volume of world trade.

Seafarers are vital in ensuring a seamless flow of essential goods that eventually make it into markets, homes, and onto our tables. Without them, the world would not be able to transport the large quantities of commodities that societies require to survive.

According to him, "Seafarers are the unsung heroes of our nation's economy, he described them as the lifeblood of Nigeria's trade, they sacrifice a lot for citizens existence as they leave their families for months for our sake."

He urged the authorities to celebrate their resilience, dedication, and the invaluable role they play in our our nation and also address the myriads of problems facing seafarers rather than paying lip service year after year during Seafarers Day.  

"As we celebrate this year's Seafarers Day, let us remember that crews face challenges on multiple fronts, including an ongoing threat to life in the Red Sea as we work together to achieve this year's theme, "Navigating the future, safety first." he said.

Happy Seafarers Day!
