The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja has been awarded the Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Award 2020 as judged by their customers as the ‘Best Airport by Size and Region’ of 5 to 15 million passengers per year in Africa.

Mrs. Henrietta Yakubu, the General Manager, Corporate Communications, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in a statement yesterday, said the award represented FAAN’s commitment to continuously improving customer experience across all the nation’s airports.

The statement hinted that the recognition came at a time when the agency’s management was geared towards ensuring seamless airport facilitation with the opening of new terminals and upgrading of “our current infrastructure across board.

“Despite a turbulent year plagued by COVID-19 induced financial struggles, the authority has endeavoured to prioritise customer satisfaction, while ensuring that health and safety remain topmost,” she added.

Capt. Rabiu Yadudu, the Managing Director, FAAN, accepted the award on behalf of the authority and restated FAAN’s commitment to ensuring the safety, security and comfort of passengers at all airports across the country.

The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Tuesday directed its members across the country to occupy legislative houses from Wednesday next week.

These include the National Assembly in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as well as the Houses of Assembly in various states of the Federation.

According to the labour body, the directive is to protest against a bill seeking to take the national minimum wage from the exclusive list and allow state governments to fix minimum wages for workers.

The NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, made the announcement at a news conference in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

He noted that the bill if allowed to be passed into law, would enable authorities in the states to enslave their workers.

Wabba explained that the directive was part of the resolutions reached at an emergency meeting of the National Executive Council of the NLC.

He said, “The NEC decided that should the need arise; it has empowered the National Administration Council of the NLC to declare and enforce a national strike action, especially if the legislators continue on the ruinous path of moving the National Minimum Wage from the Exclusive Legislative List to the Concurrent Legislative List.”

“The NEC warned that should the current artificial scarcity persist, that the various leadership structures of the NLC should picket petrol stations found to be inflicting pains on Nigerians,” the NLC president added.
