Aviation Unions Warn International Affiliates Not To Fly Into Nigeria
« on: September 23, 2009, 06:16 AM »

Preparatory to a planned strike, two Nigerian aviation unions on Tuesday disclosed that they have warned their foreign associates not to fly into the country as from today, stressing that any aircraft that flies into Nigeria will do so at its "own peril".

The unions, composed of employees of various agencies at the airport, are the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), and the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN).

"The situation tomorrow (today) will be too bad, it will be just too bad tomorrow in the industry," Sefiyanu Mohammed, the NUATE president, said, on Tuesday, at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos.

"We have now informed all our international affiliates including WFTU (the World Federation of Trade Union), ITF (the International Transport Forum), as well as others that no aircraft should fly into Nigerian airspace, if they do that, they do it at their own peril."

Mr. Mohammed said that the union is not going back on its decision to embark on an indefinite strike.

"With the kind of reactions that I am seeing from members, I don't think the Union will compromise its stand. That will never happen. You will see it with your eyes," he said.

The president of ATSSSAN, Benjamin Okewu, last Sunday, declared that employees in the aviation sector will begin the strike today.

The unions are protesting against the handover of the General Aviation Terminal at the Murtala Muhammed Airport to Bi-Courtney Aviation Services, stressing that the handover is not legal and not included in the concession agreement signed between the Federal Government and the company.

Nigerians are a very unserious bunch. One will not go to the office but expect to be paid for all the months he was on strike.

I beg baba Satan this morning make him let Nigerian Customs Strike. At least ill be able to flood the Nigerian market with Fake Drugs and Stuffs. Together we shall burn down Nigeria. That is what happens when 95 % of Nigerians have lost hope in Mother Land.
