The Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) has warned the federal government over its policy banning civil servants from  foreign training saying that such ban is a threat to air safety .

 At the end of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of ATSSSAN in Abeokuta, Ogun State,  the union leaders , warned that ban on foreign training in the aviation sector  is dangerous in the hitch industry .

The communiqué jointly signed by Comrade Benjamin Okewu and Captain Taiongu president and Deputy General Secretary respectively also disclosed that the activities of the concessionaires in the industry have been worrisome desc ribbing them as slave drivers in the country, extorting the nation and exploiting workers with various obnoxious anti-labour practices .


It would want the federal government to quickly attend to the demands of the ex-staff of liquidated national carrier, Nigeria Airways for the payment of their remaining terminal benefits and 5% terminal benefits of the employees of SAHCOL from the Bureau of public Enterprises (BPE).

ATSSSAN said it will move against any attempt by government to make workers the “weeping boy” of current economic crises especially when there were viable options to mitigate the effects of oil slump.
