Nigerian aviation workers have commenced a two-day warning strike with a protest at the Lagos airport.
According to a viral video, aviation workers, under the umbrella of different unions, were seen protesting unpalatable working conditions and entitlements in the country’s aviation industry.
The protest left passengers stranded as it grounded airport operations at the Lagos Terminal on Monday morning.
Recall that aviation unions had, last Friday, announced that they would embark on a warning strike.
The unions include the National Union of Air Transport Employees, the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, the Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals, the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporation Civil Service Technical and Recreation Services Employees and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers.
The protest had left passengers stranded as grounded airport operations blocked Lagos Terminal on Monday morning.
