The National Association of Air Traffic Engineers (NAAE) has suspended its plans to embark on strike. It took eight hours yesterday for the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) authorities to prevail on the aggrieved workers not to down tools.
The association, which had earlier indicated plans to strike midnight of yesterday if their demands were not met by increasing their salaries as announced through the general secretary, Sylvester Ejiofor, said they were suspending the action as negotiations between the association and the management were still on.
The former managing director of NAMA, Captain Ado Sanusi, had worked tirelessly to make sure crisis was averted among all the workforce.
