Some former workers of the Nigerian Ports Authority in Apapa, Lagos, have bemoaned their poor treatment following their disengagement from service in 2015.
The ex-workers under the aegis of Pool Tally Clerks and On-Board Security Men said they were paid between N200,000 and N400,000 through Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria as gratuity after spending decades in service.
It was learnt that those who spent 10 years in service were given N200,000 while those who had put up 20 years of service and above got N400,000.
Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, had on September 5, 2019, approved severance packages for the ex-workers and directed NPA and MWUN to effect the payments.
