Aviation security workers under the umbrella of the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) have suspended their plans to embark on strike on Wednesday, August 16, 2023.
The NUATE General Secretary, Ocheme Oba, made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday.
The union had, in a circular issued on Tuesday, August 15, said aviation security workers would embark on an indefinite nationwide strike over poor wages.

The union stated that the workers are usually paid a meagre N30,000 monthly, noting that the wage was insufficient, thereby bringing untold hardship on the workers.
Oba, however, said the union had sent a letter to the NCAA informing it of the union’s decision to embark on industrial action.
He said after receipt of the letter, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) intervened in the matter and requested to be given a week to deliberate on the workers’ demands.
The NUATE General Secretary noted that the NCAA has promised to organise a meeting between the union, private security firms, and the airlines.
