NiMet Strike Suspended
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the planned strike action by labor unions at the Nigerian Meteorological Agency has been suspended.
This was disclosed on their official X account on Sunday.
Aviation unions, including the National Union of Air Transport Employees, the Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals, and the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations and Technical and Recreational Employees, had instructed Nigerian Meteorological Agency staff to announce their intentions to engage in strike action on Monday, May 20, 2024.
The planned strike stemmed from management’s failure to address 45 months of minimum wage arrears and consequential adjustments for staff members.
In response to this, NiMet’s Director of Human Resources, Nasiru Sani, said, “The issue of the unpaid 42-month consequential salary adjustment by the Federal Government predates the present NiMet management.”
He added, “However, as a responsible management that cares about the welfare of its staff, we are engaging with the unions and we regularly update them of our various engagements with government agencies to help pay off the arrears.”

With effect to NiMet’s meeting with the unions, the agency has said, “Labour Unions in the Nigerian Meteorological Agency have suspended the planned strike action scheduled to begin on Monday, May 20th, 2024.
“This followed an agreement reached today, Sunday, 19th May 2024, during a special session convened by the House Committee on Aviation and Technology,” the agency said.
