The
traffic controllers at the domestic wing of the Murtala Mohammed
International Airport in Lagos have suspended the industrial action they
embarked upon on Thursday morning.
This
followed the intervention of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency
(NAMA) which made contingency arrangements to return airplanes into the
sky.
The
action by the Nigerian Air Traffick Controllers Association (NATCA)
effectively crippled domestic flight operations, but international
flights were not affected.
The
air traffic controllers who have made a series of demands for better
pay and improved working conditions however insisted that they would
embark on a full-scale strike on Friday if their demandswere not met.
The
spokesperson of NAMA, Mrs Jumoke Adetona gave the assurance that
efforts were being made to address the issues raised by the workers.
