Passengers Stranded At Lagos Airport Over Strike (VIDEO)

Travelers have been left stranded as all entry points to the domestic terminal of Murtala Muhammed International Airport are blocked. 

The blockage is due to an industrial action by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).

A video circulating online shows frustrated passengers lamenting their inability to access the airport, resulting in the suspension of all flight operations.

The strike was initiated by organized labor to advocate for an increase in the minimum wage. 

While labor unions are proposing a new minimum wage of N494,000, the Nigerian government is offering N60,000.

A last-minute meeting between leaders of the National Assembly and organized labor ended in a deadlock, with labor leaders insisting the strike would not be called off without consulting their members. 

TUC President, Comrade Festus Osifo, reaffirmed this stance after the meeting.“It is difficult and in fact impossible for us as labour leaders, to call off the strike here.

“We need to communicate with our various organs, meaning that the industrial action starts on Monday as planned,” he said.
