Nigeria: Aviation employees plan to strike and protest nationwide Aug. 21
Aviation employees threaten to strike and protest across Nigeria Aug. 21. Domestic flight disruptions likely.
Multiple unions representing aviation employees have threatened to strike and protest nationwide Aug. 21 over the government's plans to reduce the generated revenues of aviation agencies. While organizers have yet to announce the exact details for the actions, participants could gather around airport facilities.
Should the strike proceed, disruptions to domestic airport operations, including flight cancellations, are likely. Related protests may cause ground transport disruptions to and from airports. International flight disruptions cannot be ruled out.
Confirm all domestic and international flights Aug. 21. Allow extra time to reach airports. Avoid all protests. Do not drive through roadblocks; wait for police to clear them.
