However, due to a meeting held with the unions, the strike action has been suspended. The following screenshots show the outcome of the meeting as posted by @Eonsintelligenc on the microblogging platform Twitter.

The union leaders had earlier said: “Our Unions variously issued ultimatums to the Federal Ministry of Aviation and the six aviation agencies over the vexed issues of failure to release negotiated Conditions of service of the Agencies since 2013 and non-implementation of Minimum Wage/Consequential Adjustment since 2019. All the ultimatums expired 31st January 2019 without the demands being met in any form.”
