Chai! Na serious matter wey just land for aviation sector as four major unions don drop serious warning for Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) wey dey Zaria. Dem don give dem management 14 days ultimatum make dem wrap up beta review for staff Conditions of Service, else dem go down tools full ground!
Na Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, National Union of Air Transport Employees, Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals, and National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers come together drop this gist for journalists. Dem dey vex say management dey slack for staff welfare and the wahala wey dey happen wey no go fit allow peace for the college.
Make we flashback small, this matter no be new palava! Even Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet) don already jump on top the matter, come announce say dem don change dem own Conditions of Service. Na only NCAT remain like dis, and dem staff dey yan say dem dey suffer pass other aviation agencies like Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority.
E don reach the unions throat as dem talk say NCAT management don show plenty unseriousness on top the Conditions of Service matter despite all the meetings and gists wey don happen before,” Na wetin dem yan. Dem still complain say dey don dey patient too long but management just dey waste time like person wey dey fork food for mouth without swallowing.
According to the unions, “We don dey observe all dis unserious matter wey management dey do. E no funny again, and we dey talk am with heavy heart. We still believe say NCAT be the heart of aviation for Naija, but e be like say management dey do ‘carry over’ for staff welfare.”
Dem gather say e don clear say management just dey do lip service to the staff matter as the only aviation agency wey still dey drag feet on top Conditions of Service review. Dem no wan hear say dem go continue like dis. If management no wrap up this matter within the 14 days, na heavy wahala go be that!
“We don give dem chance, but if dem no fit finish everything before the time don reach, we no go get choice but to carry our matters come out and stop work. Enough dey enough!” Na wetin dem yarn sharp sharp.
As we dey talk, we don try contact NCAT publicity person, Jude Amadi, but e dey claim say e no know about the ultimatum. E promise say he go check and get back to us. But as our time dey run, we never hear from dem since then. We dey cross our fingers make dem no cause gbege for the aviation sector on top dis issue.
