The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus
Keyamo, has appealed to striking labour unions to desist from politicizing the
labour movement.
Keyamo made this known in a statement through the official X
handle of the Ministry on Thursday.
Members of labour unions on Thursday
blocked both the entry and exit ways of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International
Airport, resulting in traffic gridlock.
The development follows the unions’ decision to shut down
flight operations to Imo State over an attack on the NLC president, Joe Ajaero.
But the Minister reacted by calling the unions to order for
the good of the Nigerian aviation sector.
He warned that the Nigerian aviation industry should not be
the target of striking workers because of its economic importance to the
country’s development.
“Keyamo appeals to the Labour unions to desist from politics
in the name of the Labour movement. While he condemns the manhandling of the
Labour president in an incident in Imo state, he is of the opinion that the
aviation sector should not be the target because of its economic importance to
the development of our great nation”.
