Can you believe the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) went ahead and blocked Air Peace and other airlines from operating in Imo State? The move came as a result of a disagreement with the Imo State government.
It’s absolutely mind-boggling! These guys are supposed to be representing the interests of the workers and citizens, but their recent actions show a complete lack of responsibility and foresight.
One of the most glaring aspects of this unfortunate incident is the NLC’s blatant disregard for national service. Air Peace, one of Nigeria’s leading airlines, had taken up the noble responsibility of evacuating Nigerians from Sudan, a country marred by conflict and instability.
This humanitarian effort should have been appreciated and encouraged, considering the risks involved and the assistance it provided to fellow citizens in desperate need. They were doing something noble, helping fellow citizens in desperate need, and what do they get in return? The NLC shuts them down! It’s a slap in the face to all the hard work and risks involved in carrying out such humanitarian efforts.

The NLC’s decision to halt Air Peace’s operations in Imo State demonstrates a lack of empathy and a narrow focus on political battles at the expense of national interests.
But it’s not just about the NLC’s disregard for national service. Their actions have caused significant economic damage too. We’re talking about losses of over 700 million naira in a single day! And it’s not just the airlines that suffer.
