Aviation workers have decided to cancel their planned protest concerning the Federal Government’s demand for 50 per cent revenue collection from the agencies.
The scheduled strike was meant to be held on Wednesday 21 August, 2024.
The secretary of the Joint Aviation Trade Unions Forum Nnadi Hector said that the demonstration was called off as a result of a government order meant to ease tensions in the aviation industry.
Hector explained the nature of the recent aircraft union protests, emphasizing their nonviolent goal of drawing attention to the difficulties encountered by industry organizations.
A week ago, aviation workers across Nigeria decided to embark on a nationwide protest starting on August 21, 2024, in response to the Federal Government’s continued deduction of 50 per cent from the internally generated revenue of key aviation agencies.
The unions had made this announcement in a letter dated August 14, 2024, titled, “Save Aviation From Collapse”.
