Sirika Pledges Improved Welfare For Aviation Staff

Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika has felicitated with workers in the aviation sector for their daily contributions to the running and development of the industry as they celebrate Workers Day.

In a statement by his Special Assistant, James Odaudu, the minister restated the commitment of the Buhari administration to the continued improvement of the welfare of aviation workers through “regular training, enhanced pay packages, provision of working tools and conducive work environment”.

The Minister, however, expressed concern over frequent strikes by aviation workers, which, more often than not, disrupt operations at the nation’s airports, thereby sending “wrong signals” to the outside world about the safety of Nigeria’s airspace.
