The Maritime Security Providers Association of Nigeria (MASPAN), in collaboration with the Alumni of Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron (AMANO), extends its heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Adewale Adeyanju for his exemplary leadership and vision in combating drug trafficking, human smuggling, and other illicit activities within Nigeria’s maritime sector. His tireless efforts have significantly contributed to creating a safer and more secure environment, earning him well-deserved recognition from stakeholders in the industry.
Comrade Francis Bunu, Deputy President-General of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, was commended for his uplifting goodwill message, which resonated with participants at the occasion. As a distinguished seafarer, his steadfast support and pioneering work have greatly advanced the interests of Nigerian seafarers, earning him well-deserved recognition within the maritime community.
Prince Adeyanju, Deputy President of the Nigeria Labour Congress and Vice President Global of the International Transport Workers Federation, played a key role as the Special Guest at a recent event focused on combating maritime security threats.
