On the welfare of workers in the aviation industry, Saidu explained that the ministry of aviation performed woefully stressing that the condition of service COS issue has not been addressed by the minister since he came on board.
Saidu while calling for more training and re-training of workers in the industry disclosed that the non-replacement of the ageing workforce has negatively affected the manpower in the aviation industry.
The ANAP scribe said the national carrier will remain a mirage because it was not on built on a solid foundation especially with its unveiling abroad
In airport concession, Saidu remarked that concession will not work in the aviation sector unless that of bi-country was re visited to ascertain the terms of the agreement.
