The Federal Government has appealed to aviation unions to shelve their planned strike over the deduction of 50% of the internal revenue of aviation agencies.
The unions, comprising NUATE, ATSSSAN, ANAP, NAAPE, and AUPCTRE, had threatened to strike in a memo dated August 14.
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo assured the workers’ unions and stakeholders that President Bola Tinubu is committed to improving the aviation sector and will consider their demands to find a lasting solution.
Keyamo urged the workers to remain calm and maintain industrial peace while the government works to resolve the matter.
The unions’ concerns about the negative impact of the deductions on investment, maintenance, and operations of the agencies have been noted. The government aims to address these challenges while ensuring the continued viability and sustainability of the sector.
