Shelve planned strike, Keyamo pleads with aviation unions

Aviation unions have been asked to shelve their plans for a strike over the deduction of 50 per cent of the internal revenue of aviation agencies. 

The appeal came from the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) through the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN).

It would be recalled that in a memo dated August 14, the unions comprising the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), the Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals (ANAP), the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE), and the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporation Civil Service Technical and Recreation Services Employees (AUPCTRE) had threatened to strike.

The unions had particularly threatened to stop work on August 21 as a protest over the FGN’s deduction of 50 per cent of internally generated revenues (IGR) of aviation agencies.
