Travellers were forced to miss their flights on Thursday morning when members of the organised Labour comprising the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the
Trade Union Congress , blocked the entrance to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Abuja, thereby causing heavy traffic gridlock.
One of the protesters identified as John, said this was part of a series of actions that the two labour unions will zero in on Imo State, following the assault on the NLC President. The protesters attempted to enter the airport but were stopped by the military personnel at the checkpoint. As a result of the barricade, the protesters blocked the entry and exit points of the airport, causing heavy traffic of vehicles on both sides, thereby forcing travellers to make their way into the airport on foot.
