The NLC strike has paralyzed Abuja Airport, with all flights grounded due to the industrial action over demands for better wages and working conditions.
Chaos and frustration engulfed Abuja's Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport as the indefinite strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) forced the cancellation of all flights. Viral videos captured the scene, with stranded passengers expressing anger and disbelief over the disruption caused by the industrial action.
The airport, a major transit hub for the nation's capital, fell silent as airline staff and security personnel abandoned their posts in solidarity with the NLC's demands. Luggage carousels stood still, and check-in counters remained unmanned, leaving travelers with no choice but to reschedule their plans.
As the strike paralyzed critical sectors like power, judiciary, and transportation, the NLC remained defiant, vowing to continue the industrial action until their demands for better working conditions and increased wages were met.
The government, facing mounting pressure from various industries and the general public, has yet to issue a formal response. However, sources indicate that emergency negotiations may be underway to find a resolution and restore normalcy to the nation's aviation sector.
