Open letter to Governor Wike: I write as a citizen and businessman who is concerned about how some of the decisions you have taken in the management of the COVID19 pandemic affects the maritime sector within which I operate...
I also intend to address how the current situation may ultimately affect the economy of the state and nation in general.
Even though they should not have been arrested at all, given that they were on essential service, I commend you for seeing reason and saving us from the reality of an industrial action, which Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria had threatened. That would mean that the transportation of the essentials across countries would be impossible and many nations in need of help would not be able to access them. Any country that shuts down ports’ operations would therefore only be cutting its nose to spite its face, as the expression goes.
The reason for this non-discharge is the inability of workers to come to work! Owners of another vessel M/V FRIO carrying 3,770 MTS of FROZEN FISH in cartons now contemplating going back to Lagos ports to offload so they can go back to base!
