NiMet employees have called off their planned strike
The planned strike by labor unions at the Nigerian Meteorological Agency has been put on hold, as announced on their official X, formerly Twitter account.
Aviation unions, including the National Union of Air Transport Employee Association of Nigeria, the Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals, and the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations and Technical and Recreational Employees, had previously declared their intention to commence strike action.
The strike was prompted by management's failure to address 45 months of minimum wage arrears and consequential adjustments for staff members.
In response, NiMet’s Director of Human Resources, Nasiru Sani, clarified, “The issue of the unpaid 42-month consequential salary adjustment by the Federal Government predates the present NiMet management.” He assured ongoing engagement with the unions and updates on efforts to resolve the arrears.
Following discussions between NiMet and the unions, the agency stated, “Labour Unions in the Nigerian Meteorological Agency have suspended the planned strike action scheduled to begin. This followed an agreement reached during a special session convened by the House Committee on Aviation and Technology.”
