Last updated Oct 2, 2023

Chairperson , Seaport Terminal Operators of Nigeria (STOAN), Princess Vicky Haastrup has tasked the Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigerian (MWUN) to ensure that the next leadership after Comrade Adewale Adeyanju should emulate the virtues of the incumbent and not return hooliganism and Industrial unrest in port operations.

Haastrup who is the Executive Vice Chairman , ENL Consortium, affirmed that huge investments have been invested since the port concession and terminal operators cannot fold their hands and allow people to destroy the good works of the current, PG, Comrade Adewale Adeyanju.

To achieve the feat, Haastrup indicated interest in participating in selection of the next President General of MWUN.

Lauding the virtues of the PG, the Chairperson of Seaport Terminal Operators of Nigeria (STOAN) noted that the Maritime Industry cannot afford to allow the union hand over the affairs of the organisation to someone who will destroy investment and the legacy Comrade Adeyanju had laid down on behalf of the union and the maritime community.

She added that the industry had enjoyed a considerable peace since Adeyanju emerged as the leadership of MWUN.

Her words, “Leadership is very important. When this man leaves, we have to look at who succeeds him, I am going to be part of it. We don’t want somebody who will come and spoil what he started

On the importance of the dock sector, Haastrup said that maritime sector is capable of salvaging the country from it’s present financial hardship.

She maintained that without the dock, there is no port hence the reason she does not joke with the dockers and their activities.

“But like I always say, if we don’t have the dock, there is no port, if the ship comes and you give order that workers should stop we will all be shaking.

“It shows the importance of the dock and if the dock is good, it starts from the top. He controls what is happening in the port.”
