The Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, which operates Murtala Muhammed Airport terminal two, announced on Thursday that it had returned all 37 terminated employees and had paid their October salaries.
ANAEDOONLINE.NG reported on Tuesday that the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria had shut down the terminal in protest over Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited’s dismissal of their colleagues.
However, the organisation announced on Tuesday that the strike against Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited had been called off due to the firing of 37 members of the union without due process.
According to a statement on Thursday by the Head of Corporate Communications, Oluwatosin Onalaja BASL said this was part of the resolutions reached following the intervention of the federal government.
However, ATSSSAN called off the industrial action after the intervention by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, the Federal Airports Authority, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency and other airport security agencies at a meeting in Lagos.

But BASL said, “A resolution was reached on the same day of the strike action, after a stakeholders’ meeting mediated by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.
“The stakeholders’ meeting concluded that the staff should be recalled on the clear instruction that they should not report to work.
“The issue of appropriate severance packages will be mediated between the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, the unions and BASL. The alleged outstanding salary, which is for October 2022, due at the end of October 2022 and thus not a delayed salary, should be paid and has since been paid by BASL.”\
