Economic Activities Paralyzed from Monday, Airports and Seaports Closed-Labour

By on January 6, 2012

The Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSAN), the Nation Union of Air Transport Employee (NUATE) the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineer (NAAPE) have notified their members to withdraw their services at midnight on Sunday.

The air transportation unions are affiliates of the National Labour Congress and have naturally aligned with the demands of the apex labour union body.

Also the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has stated that the government’s primary source of revenue will be paralyzed on Monday as upstream and downstream operations will be affected including the shutting down of crude oil export terminals.

Finally, the Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI) has called on all senior bank management staff to shut down bank branches across the country in solidarity with the planned Labour Action commencing on Monday.

Other notable affiliates of the apex labour body that will embark on the strike action are Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria, Nigeria Civil Service Union, National Union of Road Transport Workers, Nigeria Union of Teachers.
