On 24 December 2019, ISWAN’s Regional Representative in Nigeria, Afusat Eke, joined members of the National Seafarers’ Welfare Board of Nigeria (NSWB) to celebrate Christmas with seafarers on their vessels at Apapa Port.
Two days later on 26 December, Afusat, members of the NSWB and Reverend Aduroja from The Mission to Seafarers visited seafarers currently being held at Ikoyi Prison.
