After Organized Labour paused their nationwide strike, flights at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammad Airport’s local terminal have resumed.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) announced on Tuesday that the strike, which began on Monday, has been suspended.

With the strike on hold for a week, flights are gradually resuming.

In another statement, the General Secretary of the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), Comrade Ocheme Aba, confirmed that all union members are back at work.

he said,

“Due to the agreement with the presidency, the strike will be relaxed for one week starting from now to enable the tripartite committee concluded deliberations on the minimum wage negotiation so, flight operations will resume now, have resumed actually because all the blockages have been removed,”
