Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has cautioned the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) against interrupting airport aircraft operations.
Keyamo issued the warning during a ministerial retreat for the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development’s permanent secretaries, directors, and heads of agencies on Thursday in Effurun, Delta.
He stated that, as the political leader of Nigeria’s aviation industry, he would not allow labor leaders to obstruct airport access routes.
NAN reports that labour leaders on Thursday morning blocked access roads to the Abuja Airport in protest over the maltreatment of Joe Ajaero, the NLC president.
Keyamo said: “Please, I want to beg the labour leaders to leave aviation alone. You cannot target aviation in trying to address your grievances. In targeting the aviation industry, you are targeting a global village. I am addressing the labour leaders across the country: do not allow the Labour Party (LP) to destroy the labour movement.”
