Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) has said its members would join the protest earlier declared by the aviation union over 50 percent Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) deductions.
The protest scheduled for 18th September would result in a possible disruption of flight operations.
National president, NATCA, Abayomi Agoro, in a statement said its association demands immediate exemption of agencies from 50 per cent IGR deduction.

“NATCA , representing the collective interests of all Air Traffic Control professionals in Nigeria, wishes to draw urgent attention to the federal government’s ongoing 50 per cent deduction from the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of aviation agencies. This policy is severely undermining the safety and efficiency of Nigeria’s aviation sector.

“We want to place it on record that the safety-critical activities of the entire aviation sector are slowly grinding to a halt, reaching levels that are unacceptable. The agencies within the sector are financially constrained, rendering the sector dysfunctional. This alarming situation, if left unaddressed, poses significant risks to the safety and operational effectiveness of Nigerian airspace,” Agoro said.

He said that NATCA will not assume responsibility should a strain on the sector’s safety and operational needs result in any critical incident or accident, adding that the continued financial constraints imposed by these deductions are compromising its ability to deliver safe, efficient air traffic control services.

“Considering these developments, NATCA’s Council, by this press release, places all Air Traffic Controllers on notice that our mother union has directed a nationwide protest Effective from “0000 hours on the 18th of September 2024”, all controllers are to comply with the instructions from our mother union until further notice.
