After issuing a warning in a memo signed on Friday, the unions said an indefinite strike would commence if the government failed to address the approval and implementation of the Condition of Service (CoS), the new salary structure for the workers, and the planned demolition of the offices of the aviation agencies.
By 6am on Monday, the protests began as vehicular movements were totally grounded as the aviation unions blocked all entrances leading to Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja and Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos.
The unions involved are the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), and the Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals (ANAP).
