Nigeria’s airports will be closed for two days beginning Monday as aviation workers stage their second strike this year in protest of working conditions and remuneration.
The unions representing pilots, engineers, control tower operators, and other airport employees announced on Friday that they would skip work on Monday and Tuesday due to unpaid arrears and the federal government’s decision to demolish some aviation agencies’ Lagos offices to make way for airport expansion.
If the present strike does not provide the intended goals, the Union has threatened an indefinite strike.
The association also bemoaned other issues confronting the business, including as inadequate facilities, jet fuel shortages that frequently halt domestic flights, and a lack of foreign currency, which has caused international airlines to fail to repatriate ticket sales.
