Minister Festus Keyamo is meeting with the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet) executives following a nationwide strike by NiMet workers. The workers are protesting unresolved welfare issues, including unpaid allowances and training neglect. The strike has disrupted operations, with Air Peace suspending flights due to the lack of essential weather reports. The outcome of these meetings could determine whether the strike ends or intensifies.
- NiMet workers began an indefinite strike over unpaid allowances, wage awards, and unresolved entitlements.
- The strike has led to a suspension of flights by Air Peace due to the unavailability of weather reports.
- Keyamo is in a closed-door meeting with NiMet’s executives to resolve the ongoing issues.
- Workers accuse management of withholding key documents and neglecting staff training.
This strike highlights ongoing tensions between government agencies and their workers, particularly over unresolved financial issues and employee neglect. The disruption to air travel shows just how deeply these disputes can impact daily life. If the meeting with Keyamo doesn't result in a resolution, the strike could worsen, affecting even more sectors and services across the country.
Will the government be able to resolve the strike before it spirals further? Stay updated and share your thoughts on how this might affect Nigeria’s aviation and meteorological services.
