The President of the Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers’ Association (NATCA), Mr. Eyaru Victor has said that it won’t be part of the indefinite industrial action proposed by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC).

The industrial action is slated for the 6th of November due to government’s failure to meet the labour union’s demand for a new national minimum wag

The Association said it reached the decision after consultation with other Unions adding that the decision was to avoid disruption of its international conference.

Speaking at the 29th edition of International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers’ Association (IFATCA) in Abuja with the theme; ‘Seamless Friendly Sky’, Victor said: “We are not part of the strike because we have discussed with our mother union which is Air Transport Senior Staff

Association of Nigeria (ATSSAN) and Trade Union Congress (TUC).

“We are working out a way because of the International conference in order not disturb flight operations especially for our international delegates.”
