The unions, National Union of Air Transport Employees,
Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals and National Association of
Aircraft Pilots and Engineers made this known in a statement on Saturday.
The statement which jointly signed by NUATE General Secretary,
Ocheme Aba, ANAP General Secretary, Rasaq Saidu and NAAPE General Secretary,
Umoh Ofonime said the development follows an agreement jointly reached by the
various aviation unions in the country.
According to the statement, the strike action is in accordance
with the declaration by the Nigeria Labour Congress, Kaduna State Chapter, to
embark on the action in protest of anti-labour practices perpetrated against
civil servants by the Nasir El-Rufai-led administration.
This decision to strike by the aviation workers might bring
untold hardship and pains on the travelling public as the Kaduna Airport is
currently the vital connecting gateway for Northern businessmen and the elites
who avoid plying the Abuja-Kaduna road which has become a kidnappers’ den.
Recall that the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Kaduna State
Council earlier called on all workers in the state to disregard the state
government’s circular against the five days warning strike which is expected to
begin on Monday.
