As the world marks International Women's Day 2025, Comrade (Prince) Dr. Adewale Adeyanju, President-General of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) and Deputy President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, has released a statement celebrating the significant contributions of women in Nigeria and across the globe.
Comrade Adeyanju commends Nigerian women for making indelible marks in various fields, particularly in the maritime sector, where they have broken the barriers of male dominance. He notes that women are now competing effectively with their male counterparts in areas such as seafaring, port management, and industry leadership.
Under Comrade Adeyanju's leadership, the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria has promoted gender equality, providing women with greater opportunities to participate in all areas of operations in the nation's seaports, oil and gas platforms, and jetties. This has led to a significant increase in the number of women taking on leadership roles in the maritime sector.
Comrade Adeyanju also acknowledges the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) for encouraging women's full participation in the transport sector, including air, land, rail, and water transport. He recognizes the importance of organizations such as Women in Shipping (WIS) and the ITF Women's Wing, which provide platforms for women to take on leadership roles and network with other women in the industry.
In his statement, Comrade Adeyanju praises Nigerian women for excelling in various fields, including politics, business, leadership, teaching, and more. He encourages women to continue striving for excellence, building on the legacies of those who have paved the way.
"As we celebrate International Women's Day 2025, I want to commend the women of Nigeria for their resilience, determination, and hard work," Comrade Adeyanju said. "Women have made significant contributions to the growth and development of our nation, and it is only fitting that we recognize and celebrate their achievements."
Comrade Adeyanju's message serves as a testament to the significant contributions women have made and continue to make in Nigeria and globally. As the world celebrates International Women's Day 2025, it is clear that women will continue to play a vital role in shaping the future of our nation and the world at large.
In conclusion, Comrade Adeyanju's statement is a call to action, encouraging women to continue striving for excellence and pushing beyond the boundaries of what is possible. As we celebrate International Women's Day 2025, let us remember the significant contributions women have made and continue to make, and let us work together to create a brighter future for all.
