Air traffic controllers across the country Thursday Morning embarked on a six hours warning strike to draw the attention of the management of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency ( NAMA), to epileptic air navigation equipment as well as failure to address welfare issues raised last year.
The warning strike according to sources is a prelude to total industrial action scheduled to begin on Monday April 20, 2015.
Investigations revealed that flights are not disrupted at airports nationwide because the management of NAMA has put in place a contingency plan to mitigate any effects of the warning strike.
Part of the contingency plan, is the use of Nigerian Air Force personnel as traffic controllers at airports nationwide.
An official of NAMA said the management has commenced discussions with members of the National Association of Air Traffic Controllers (NATCA), on how to resolve the issues affecting their welfare and working equipment.
The official said the managing director of NAMA, Engineer Ibrahim Abdulsalam is already in Abuja to meet relevant ministry officials on how to resolve the impending industrial action by air traffic controllers.
The official said by Friday, the matter would have been resolved amicably between NAMA and the striking air traffic controllers.
