The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the minister was speaking at the third national delegates’ conference of the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association , held in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
Sirika noted that the sector was in a recovery mode, therefore, this was not the time for threats and spates of industrial actions which would only further inhibit the growth badly needed by the industry. “IATA records show that as at 2018, air transport in Nigeria supported 241,000 jobs with a gross value added to GDP of US $1.7b.“The growth forecast for the Nigeria Air Transport market was 174% in the next 20 years. If met, this would support approximately $4.7 billion of GDP and over 555,000 jobs.”
He added that lowering labour costs becomes very attractive and unions would always kick, yet, the industry needs labour just as labour needs the industry.
