Normal flights resume, as air traffic controllers suspend strike… temporarily


Air traffic controllers have suspended the strike action that had grounded all domestic flights since Thursday, April 16.

However, the union warned that a more severe strike action would be embarked on next week if their demands were not met.

Yakubu Dati of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), told AFP that: “The strike was a warning strike. Normal flights have now resumed.”

National Association of Air Traffic Controllers chief, Victor Eyaru was quoted as saying that a protracted strike would be launched on April 20 if their calls for better pay and improved working conditions were not addressed.
