Aviation workers have suspended their strike hours after crippling international flight operations at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Monday.
Recall that workers of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company, PLC, NAHCO embarked on strike in protest of salary increments and abysmal welfare despite over 100 per cent airfare hikes.
The development left passengers stranded and frustrated at the Lagos Airport as flights were grounded.
However, the strike has been suspended by the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, ATSSSAN.
The Deputy General Secretary, ATSSSAN, Frances Akinjole, told the media on Monday.
“It’s been suspended, and they’ve(NAHCO) agreed to commence negotiation on the salary issue with us,” he said.
Earlier in a statement in Lagos Monday, NAHCO expressed regrets over the incident and pledged to resolve the crisis.
