The chairman of Opobo\/Nkoro Local Government Council, Hon. Maclean Bethel Uranta has charged\u00a0 marine operators to\u00a0 see their lives as more important than the money they generate from overloading.<\/p>\n
Hon Uranta gave the charge while addressing members of the National Union\u00a0 of Maritime Workers of Nigeria during an end of year party and thanksgiving\/first anniversary celebration of its executive council at Opobo town, recently.<\/p>\n
The council boss warned them against all forms of unethical practice, saying that since he swore to protect the lives and property\u00a0 of the people, he would not\u00a0 hesitate to apply the full weight of the law on defaulting commercial boat operators in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will throw the full weight\u00a0 of the law to deal with recalcitrant\u00a0 boat drivers\u00a0 who default marine traffic laws\u201d, he stressed.<\/p>\n
Commending the efforts of the union\u2019s present executive council at instilling discipline in the union urged them to remain committed to their duty while obeying traffic regulations in order to make the waterways safe.<\/p>\n
