The aviation workers’ unions on Monday embarked on a protest over what they described as unpalatable working conditions and entitlements.
Gists9ja reports that the aviation workers union commenced a nationwide protest over the non-implementation of the new Condition of Service (CoS) for about seven years after it was negotiated with the workers.
The Lagos Airport was shut down as a result of the demonstration.
They also bemoaned the non-implementation of minimum wage consequential adjustments and arrears for the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) since 2019, and the planned demolition exercise of all the agency’s buildings in Lagos by the Minister of Aviation for an airport city project, without consideration for workers that will be displaced.
This newspaper reports that roads leading to the airports have been barricaded.
