put on hold as the aggrieved workers took to the airport roads,
expressing their displeasure as they marched with placards from the
tollgate to other parts of the airport.

“Airport concession is economic terrorism”
The workers comprised the Air Transport Services Senior Staff
Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), National Union of Air Transport
Employees (NUATE) and the National Union of Pensioners (NUP) .

State, Aviation, Hadi Sirika, as he assured that the concession would
follow a framework that would cater for the national interest.
The protest is said to be going on concurrently at the Murtala
Muhammed Airport, Lagos, Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, Mallam Aminu
