The immediate past President-General of the Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MWUN), Comrade (Prince) Adewale Adeyanju, has joined colleagues and friends in celebrating Mrs Kenechi Okezie, the Port Manager of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Port Harcourt, who marked her 50th birthday on 1 November 2025.
Comrade Adeyanju, who also serves as Deputy President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Vice President (Global) of the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), described Mrs Okezie as “a woman of substance, a devoted Christian, and a professional of rare excellence.”
“Her sense of reasoning, discipline, and responsibility is second to none,” Adeyanju said. “She is a resourceful mariner with a clear record of performance and dedication to duty.”
Reflecting on his tenure as MWUN President-General, the Oyo-born labour leader recalled Mrs Okezie’s steadfast support for the union and her commitment to improving working relations within the maritime industry.
“Mrs Okezie has always been a dependable partner and an exemplary maritime personality,” he noted. “Our relationship in the industry has been one built on mutual respect and service to the sector.”
Now the Chairman of the MWUN Board of Trustees, Comrade Adeyanju extended heartfelt wishes to Mrs Okezie, praying for divine grace, health, and prosperity in her new decade.
“My dear sister, may the good Lord continue to protect you and your home. Keep the flag flying at the NPA, and may your name be written in gold for your enduring contributions to the maritime sector,” he added.
Comrade Adeyanju concluded with a personal message of celebration:
“Happy birthday, Mrs Okezie. May you continue to age gracefully and remain ever blessed in His presence.”
