Aviation unions have shelved further strike action pending a meeting scheduled for next week.
This is coming one week after the two-day warning strike, which almost shut down the aviation industry.
The unions, which include the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals (ANAP), National Association of Aircraft Pilots & Engineers (NAAPE) and Amalgamated Union of Public Corporation Civil Service Technical and Recreational Service Employees (AUPCTRE) had last week shut down the industry over welfare issues as well as the planned demolition of the Lagos offices of aviation agencies.
The unions had vowed to shut down the industry after the two-day warning strike.
However, the unions in a statement jointly signed by NUATE General Secretary, Comrade Ocheme Aba; ATSSSAN Principal Deputy General Secretary, Comrade Frances Akinjole; Deputy General Secretary, NAAPE, Comrade Umoh Ofonime, and Secretary General of ANAP, Comrade Abdul Rasaq Saidu said the unions have shelved the strike.
