Several aviation unions have criticised the decision of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency to reduce the salary of workers in the month of June.
The workers in a joint letter signed by the General Secretary of Nigeria Union of Air Transport Employees, Ocheme Aba, and the Secretaries of the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals and Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical, probed the decision by NAMA and threatened action against the agency if the move is implemented.
The union stated that the decision to reduce salaries of NAMA’s workers would result in gross embarrassment, not only to the aviation industry but to the whole country.

It advised NAMA against the decision, promising that there would be grave consequences.
The letter read in part, “Going forward, we are compelled to suggest that the management be properly guided on how to address issues that concern salaries of our members in the agency.”
The unions advised the agency to pay all salaries and entitlements to its members in full on or before June 29 or risk any action that would be needed to protect its workers.
