The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) on Tuesday suspended its strike as the federal government pledged to tackle all demands raised by the union.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, made this known after a conciliatory meeting between the union and the Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Power, Works and Housing and the management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) in Abuja.

The issues raised by the union include the deplorable condition of roads leading to the ports, issues surrounding their concessioning and decongestion.

Others are, poor sanitary condition in and around the ports as well as the need for palliative works on roads while the major construction is hastened.
