The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) protesters have blocked the entrance and exit ways of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
In a video seen by Truth Live News, the protesters attempted to enter the airport but were stopped at the checkpoint by the military. Angered by the refusal, the protesters blocked the airport’s entry and exit points, causing heavy vehicle traffic on both sides.
Travellers were forced to start making their way into the airport on foot.
The gathering of the organised Nigeria Labour Congress is to enforce their directive to members working in the aviation sector to stop all flights to Owerri, the Imo State capital. This is in reaction to the assault that befell the President of the Union, Joe Ajaero in Imo State.
The Nigeria Labour Congress has also declared a nationwide strike starting on Tuesday, November 14.
