The Maritime Workers’ Union just threw its biggest year-end party ever. Under their President-General, Francis Bunu, they handed out a bunch of cash prizes to members for things like being on time and dressing sharply. The Deputy Secretary-General for Administration, John Ekpo, got one hundred thousand naira for punctuality. Another deputy, Kenneth Ibanga, and the Dockworkers Branch General Secretary, Mathew Adele, each got the same amount for best-dressed honors.
They gave the same cash award to several women in the union, including accounts staffer Akala Mistura and an assistant secretary-general named Funke Apesin. The union’s head driver, John Kessy, and a dockworker's assistant secretary, Rotimi, also scored punctuality prizes. In a dance contest, Vice President-General Martina Njoku won fifty thousand naira.
A separate group called Face of Maritime showed up to give Bunu a special award for his leadership. He told everyone the only way to top this event next year is with more hard work and loyalty. The whole thing was catered with food from different regions across the country. Union brass said the bash was about boosting morale and unity as they head into another year of port reforms and labor negotiations.
