Workers of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) are preparing to fight with the Federal Government if the latter insists on concessioning the airport facilities after the ongoing remodelling process of the structures.
A top official of the Air Transport Service Senior Staff Association (ATSSSAN) told THISDAY on Tuesday that concessioning of airport facilities has failed.
The source said "it would be retrogressive, if, after this unfortunate experience, government begins to consider concessioning the facilities which are presently undergoing infrastructural renewal."
The source said the workers, through aviation unions, are preparing to paralyse activities in the industry if government insists on concessioning because "such policy has not helped the industry in the past."
"We commend the Ministry of Aviation and the Federal Government for the ongoing transformation of airports in the country. We don't want concession; in fact, we don't expect that government could be considering that after the immediate past experience. But we are not going to allow it to happen. We must stop it from happening. We have held series of meeting on that and we will not allow it to happen.
