The Domestic Airports Cargo Agents Association (DACAA) has estimated that Nigeria suffered a significant financial loss of about N7 billion in cargo transport during the two-day nationwide strike organized by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC). The strike, which took place on Monday and Tuesday, led to the suspension of airline operations across the nation.
Mr. Ikpe Nkanang, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of DACAA,
revealed in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that approximately 30 tonnes of cargo were not lifted across the country's domestic airports daily during the strike. He emphasized the substantial impact of the strike on cargo operations and highlighted the financial implications of the disrupted transport activities.
Nkanang further clarified that the cost of transporting a kilogram of cargo amounts to N300, shedding light on the economic considerations and losses incurred during the strike. The strike's repercussions on the cargo transport sector have raised concerns about the broader economic effects and the need for measures to mitigate such financial losses in the future.
The strike's impact on the aviation and cargo transport industry underscores the complexities and challenges associated with labor actions and their implications for the country's economic activities and infrastructure.
