The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria , MWUN, has rejected plans by the Federal Government to re-float the Nigeria National Shipping Line , NNSL, 28 years after its liquidation by the government of Olusegun Obasanjo. The Union argued that, besides not carrying organized Labour along, the benefits of disengaged and other former employees of the defunct NNSL are yet to be paid by the same government that liquidated the national carrier 28 years ago.
