The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, on Friday asked aviation workers to remain calm over the deduction of 50 per cent of the internal revenue of aviation agencies, saying their concern is receiving necessary attention.
The minister was reacting to the call to action by aviation unions over the said deduction.
Keyamo in a statement said that President Bola Tinubu is aware and concerned about the need for improvement in the aviation industry and would give it proper attention in due course.
““We understand the significance of the issues raised and recognise the vital role that our aviation workforce plays in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and smooth operation of the industry.
“The ministry is committed to addressing these challenges in a manner that ensures the continued viability and sustainability of the sector while maintaining the highest standards of service delivery.
“I wish to assure the workers’ Unions and other stakeholders that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is very concerned about the improvement of the aviation sector and will give their demands due consideration with the goal of finding a lasting solution that balances both the fiscal needs of the government and the operational requirements of the aviation agencies.”
