Following a Memorandum of Settlement reached by the workers and the Federal Ministry of Aviation in the early hours of Tuesday, Aviation workers have suspended their planned industrial action billed to commence today.

The agreement was signed at the end of a conciliation meeting held at the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.

The meeting was presided by Senator Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour and Employment, the non-implementation of the Minimum Wage consequential adjustment in the aviation parastatals since 2019 and the non-approval/release of the reviewed conditions of service in the parastatals was discussed.

While briefing journalists, Ngige said “The National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission was requested to issue a service circular informing all organisations in the public and private sectors that they are bound to implement the National Minimum Wage of 2019/consequential adjustments.
