The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has declared that Nigerians have not seen any positive impact of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) under the administration of the Managing Director Captain Rabiu Yadudu.
The MD had last week reportedly described the peaceful action of the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria in solidarity with Imo State workers at the Lagos Airport as a “mob action” that would no longer be tolerated.
Reacting to comment , NLC head of information and public affairs, Comrade Benson Upah said Yadudu who claimed pickets were out of fashion and “that the NLC acted…with impunity” could not cite any authority that outlawed the picketing even as he ranted:
“We advise Yadudu to shut up instead of misinformimg the public about what happened.
“He goes down as the most incompetent MD in the history of the aviation sector under whose watch the sector witnessed the highest number of shut downs and pickets.
Coming to the fact in issue, it is public knowledge that there are issues in Imo State. It is equally true that our credo is, “an injury to one is an injury to all”. So clearly, he is the liar here.
“We forgive Yadudu for deregulating his mouth but next time, it won’t be so. He will understand that not even a seven-headed spirit has monopoly of verbal violence.
“Our parting shot, however is that, he should rise from the ashes of his incompetence to account for the humongous resources of FAAN as no one feels the impact of FAAN under his watch”
