The Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers have called on the Federal Government to put an end to the lingering strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities by approving their requests.
In a statement made available to the press on Monday, the General Secretary of ANAP, Comrade Abdulrasaq Saidu called on President Mohammadu Buhari’s government, to end without further delay, the ongoing strike before it gets out of hand.
ANAP noted that the over four months strike has ridiculed the educational system and made it a laughing stock before the world and therefore threatens to join in the strike in solidarity by closing the aviation sector if the government did not take urgent necessary steps to address ASUU’s demands.
The union warned that its members will align with the Nigeria Labour Congress’ position in protest against the unfortunate situation in the tertiary education sector.
The National Administrative Council has directed all branch chairmen and secretaries to disseminate this information to all members in their various branches to participate in the solidarity protest in their various states starting from Tuesday 26, July 2022 to Wednesday 27, July 2022 at all the states capitals of the federation and Abuja the federal capital. The take off point is NLC State Secretariats and the Labour House, Abuja.
