Following a high-level intervention by the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, the strike action embarked upon by unions within the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has been suspended until May 13, 2025, pending the outcome of the Minister’s intervention on the issues raised.
This development emerged at the end of a crucial meeting convened by the Honourable Minister with leaders of the aggrieved unions, including the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) and the Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals (ANAP).
“We have resolved to suspend the ongoing strike till May 13, 2025, in recognition of the Honourable Minister’s timely and sincere intervention. We await the progress of the actions he has committed to take.”
Corroborating the position, Comrade Alale Adedayo, National President of ANAP, noted:
“As a mark of respect for the Honourable Minister’s intervention and assurance, we have decided to temporarily call off the strike while the process of resolution is ongoing.”
