Airport workers have welcomed the redeployment of staff from Abuja back to Lagos.
Gatekeepers News reports that the workers including the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), the National Union Of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), and the Association Of Nigeria Aviation Professionals (ANAP), welcomed the development in a statement on Friday.
The statement read, “It could be recalled that the unions have on several occasions expressed our concerns over the hasty manner in which staff were relocated to Abuja when no adequate arrangement was made in the areas of office accommodation, infrastructure and other logistics for smooth relocation, senior management staff were left stranded without an office and working tools while junior staff were helpless, no provision for documents and working files and most worrisome absence of backup for data.
“It is our hope that if such movement is required in future all necessary infrastructure must be in place. We are also of the opinion that staff who have collected relocation allowance even though not sufficient should not be paid for this redeployment.”
The workers, therefore, urged the management to make Lagos offices convenient enough for staff to operate.
