Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

A 7-Day ultimatum has been issued to the Director General of Nigeria Meteorology Agency(NiMet) and the management within which to implement the reviewed workers Condition of Service(CoS).

The ultimatum which was issued by the Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals (ANAP) was signed by its Secretary-General, Comrade Abdul-Rasaq Saidu.

In addition, the association wanted the DG to revert anti-trade union transfers (postings) of Nimet ANAP branch executives out of Abuja since December 2018,

The organisation explained that it was resorting to calling out workers on the industrial protest at the expiration of the ultimatum due to the failure of all peaceful dialogue approaches taken by the association for the DG to see reasons why the two issues being agitated be resolved amicably.

In addition, Comrade Saidu noted that the management of NiMet and the Director-General had all treated ANAP entreaties with impunity.

He, therefore, enjoined all workers, in NiMet to stay at home indefinitely at the expiration of the ultimatum if two issues are not resolved in favour of the workers, adding:” Enough is Enough. No retreat! No surrender!”
