[FILE PHOTO] Nigeria’s Aviation minister Hadi Sirika
Aviation workers, yesterday, flayed their Minister, Hadi Sirika, for alleged poor handling of the sector and failure to deliver on the promises made since inception of office about six years ago. The workers were miffed by the one-man show posture of the minister in running the sector, manifesting in absence of statutory governing boards of aviation agencies. The workers, in commemoration of 2021 Workers’ Day said the untidy arrangement robbed them of better welfare, conditions of service and general wellbeing of the industry as earlier pledged by the minister. Sirika had on assumption of office rolled out an aviation development masterplan, which has the launch of a new national carrier, concession of the airports, aircraft leasing company and maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) organisation among others in focus.

Aviation workers under the aegis of the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) have declared that the aviation sector is in danger of what it called one-man governance.
This is just as at the union threatened industrial action from May 17th over what it called “unfair treatment” meted out to it by the National Salaries and Wages Commission (NSWC).
President of the union, Ben Nnabue, who spoke during the workers’ day celebration said while the Covid-19 pandemic continues to ravage the world especially the aviation sector, the situation in Nigeria has been worsened by the seeming absence of corporate governance in the running of the affairs of the sector.
