MARITIME WORKERS REJECT 50% NPA’s IGR DEDUCTION
Organized Labour in the maritime sector has rejected a circular from the Ministry of Finance directing 50 per cent deduction from the Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, of the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, into the Federation Account, warning that it portends great danger for port operations and development amongst others.

At a briefing Monday, the two in-house Unions called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene to avoid a looming industrial unrest over the issue.
