Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation and aerospace
development, is currently in a closed-door meeting with the executives of the
Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMeT).
Tunde Moshood, special adviser on media and communications
to the minister, announced in a post on X on Thursday.
“The Hon. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development,
Festus Keyamo SAN is a close door meeting with the executives of striking NIMET
workers. Details will be released soon,” the post reads.
On Wednesday, employees of NiMet commenced a nationwide
indefinite strike over welfare issues.
Some of the issues include “NiMet’s refusal to negotiate or
implement agreed financial allowances and unresolved entitlements,” as well as
wage awards, peculiar allowances, and outstanding payments from the 2019
minimum wage.
They also accused the management of the agency of
withholding important documents, ignoring requests for inclusion of omitted
staff in past payments, and neglecting key training programmes in favour of
executive retreats.
Following the development, Air Peace suspended all flight
operations across the country due to the ongoing strike.
In a statement on Wednesday, the airline said it is also
suspending operations due to the unavailability of QNH (hazardous weather)
reports required for safe landings.
