The National Union of Air transport Employees, NUATE has suspended its proposed shutdown of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA over staff matters.
NUATE, Secretary General, Olayinka Abioye in a statement said the decision to suspend the action is coming on the heels of the intervention of the Federal Ministry of Transportation, who had waded into the matter.
He said,”You may recall that NUATE (and her partners) had placed an ultimatum on the NCAA which upon its expiration would entail total shutdown of the NCAA in its five regional offices”.
“A few hours ago, the National President of our union, entreaties, promptings proposed intervention from the Federal Ministry of Transportation, has waded into the dispute on the above subject”.
According to him,”Consequent upon this intervention from the Ministry and on the advise from stakeholders, we regret to inform you that our industrial action is hereby suspended forthwith, as the NCAA management, the Ministry and our Union engage in social dialogue towards the settlement of the matter in dispute”.
