The National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) has directed the Aviation Security (AVSEC) and logistics sub-sector to commence an immediate strike from tomorrow August 16th, 2023 over their N30,000 monthly pay.
The union made this known in a circular obtained by our reporter and addressed to the Director-General Civil Aviation (DGCA); Managing Director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Commissioner of Police, Airports Command, the Airport Commandant, Director, Department of State Security (DSS), Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos Command.
It added that the withdrawal of services was inevitable.
The circular, which was signed by the General Secretary, NUATE, Comrade Ocheme Aba, lamented that AVSEC who are mostly graduates are paid a paltry N30,000 monthly.
He explained that all efforts to negotiate improved wages for their members in the past had failed and wondered why N30,000 could be sufficient for the personnel in today’s Nigeria.
