The National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) has directed Aviation Security (AVSEC) and the logistics sub-sector to commence an immediate strike from tomorrow following poor wages.
The union made this known in a circular sent to the Director-General of 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.
The circular, signed by Comrade Ocheme Aba, the General Secretary of NUATE, lamented that AVSEC, 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.
