Aviation workers block access to Lagos airport, passengers stranded

Many passengers on Monday were stranded on the Lagos Airport road as aviation workers blocked access to both the international and domestic wings of the Murtala Muhammed Airports.

The workers who began a two-day strike on Monday are demanding that the planned demolition of aviation agencies’ headquarters in Lagos be stopped. They also want the implementation of conditions of service signed with government.

  The workers action led to a gridlock along the Airport Road in the Ikeja area of Lagos, with the entrance of the Murtala Muhammed Airports Terminal Two (MMA2) mostly affected.

Leaders of the workers’ unions had given the go-ahead for the strike despite a last-minute meeting called by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) with the unions hoping for a truce.
