Workers of the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET) have called off their strike following the Federal Government’s intervention.
The workers had protested over poor working conditions, grounding flights across the country on Thursday.
the strike was called off after a meeting with the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, in Abuja,
The workers were concerned over the non-implementation of the new national minimum wage, ignoring requests to include omitted staff in past allowances, and neglecting key training programmes, among other matters.
The strike, which has lingered for two days, has left passengers on scheduled local flights stranded at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja; Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos and others.
