It will be recalled that the Air Traffic Controllers embarked on Six Hours warning strike last Thursday which led to the closure of Nigeria airspace and made passengers to be stranded at airports across the country. Vanguard was at the various terminals of the Lagos airport where the stranded passengers were seen loitering around the airport terminals as they were told they would not fly because of the strike.
Reacting to this development yesterday, the Acting General Manager , Public Affairs, Nigerian Airspace Management Authority, NAMA, Mrs Olajumoke Adetona , said “Management of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) hereby wishes to inform the public that there would be no disruption in the provision of air traffic services on Monday, 20th April 2015 in line with the agency’s mandate to provide safe, economic, efficient and expeditious air navigation services.”
“The agency wishes to restate that the current agitation by Air Traffic Controllers on harmonization of professional allowances with other professional groups in NAMA has been addressed on its merit and resolved by the Federal Government. “
“On the strength of this resolution, there is no cause for any industrial disharmony by professional groups in the agency and further to our commitment to staff welfare, NAMA wishes to reassure the general public of the safety and security of the Nigerian airspace. “
