AON, in a statement, said it agreed to pause the action following an appeal from Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo,SAN  who called for restraint and dialogue 


The suspension was conditional pending the outcome of a meeting for all concerned parties scheduled for April 22, at the instance of the Aviation minister

 Fuel typically accounts for more than a third of airlines’ expenses in Nigeria.
