NIGERIAN Air Traffic Controllers’ Association, NATCA, has issued a 21 day ultimatum to the management of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, to resolve all outstanding labour issues the agency has with its members or face industrial strike.
The association in a communiqué jointly signed by President and General Secretary of NATCA, Victor Eyaru and Banji Olawode respectively, issued at the end of its 43rd annual general meeting and conference held in Kano State at the weekend further demanded that “all outstanding, unresolved and/or pending issues regarding Air Traffic Controllers’ remuneration, professional allowances and promotion and advancement in NAMA should be attended to within 21 days with effect from November 3, 2014.”
The threat by NATCA to go on strike to press for their demands is usually taken seriously by NAMA because the controllers have the capacity to ground flight operations nationwide because of the sensitive services they provide.
