Nigerian aviation workers have ended their strike and left the entry gates of the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2) Terminal in Lagos State so that aircraft operations could resume after workers illegally sacked by B-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) were recalled.
SaharaReporters had reported how numerous passengers who intended to board the early-morning flights out of the private terminal of the airport were stranded on Tuesday because one of the aviation unions blocked the entrances leading to the terminal, in protest of the termination of 37 workers by the terminal management.
As a result of the union's action, dozens of travellers who had arrived at the airport to catch morning flights to their destinations were stuck. The union had branded the dismissal of its members as witch-hunting and wilful intimidation, stating that rather than implementing the terms of service agreed upon with the union in 2021, the BASL administration had resorted to dismissing its members in its creation.
Meanwhile, hours after the protest, ATSSSAN General Secretary, Francis Akinjolie said BASL had recalled the disengaged workers.
