Strike at Lagos International Airport

Lagos, Nigeria – As a result of the strike action started by employees of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc over salary-related concerns, many airlines were forced to divert flights on Monday, leaving many international passengers stranded at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

In a statement, NAHCO admitted that some of its clients were being put through a tough position as a result of its employees’ persistence on going on strike despite an allegedly still-in-effect court order prohibiting them from doing so.

Dr. Olusola Obabori, Group Executive Director of NAHCO, expressed apologies on behalf of the organization for the hardships the strike had brought about.
