Nigeria: Aviation workers set to protest nationwide Sept. 12

Event

Flight disruptions and delays are likely across Nigeria Sept. 12 amid protests by aviation workers. Workers are scheduled to demonstrate at airports to demand the withdrawal of a clause from the newly amended Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria Act which states that aviation workers cannot declare a strike action regardless of the situation.

Nationwide disruptions to airport operations and flights are likely through Sept. 12. Any demonstrations are likely to be monitored by security forces, and isolated clashes cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Confirm domestic and international flights. Do not check out of accommodation until onward travel is confirmed. Avoid all protests as a precaution.
