The Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals (ANAP) has urged Mr Festus Keyamo, to stick with the existing agreement between unions and the Federal Government on airport concession.
The new President General of ANAP, Comrade Alale Adedayo made the call at the inauguration of the new executives on Friday in Lagos.
The Union leader, who said the association would strongly kick against any decision taken outside of the Labour Law of the country, added: ‘On the issue of airport concession, ANAP would strongly reject and kick against anything that is not in line with the labour law and existing agreement made between government and unions during the last regime.
Adedayo, while applauding the sacrifices of his predecessor, said that his tenure would see to the completion of the projects started by the former leadership, while committing to prioritising members’welfare.
“The foundation has been built, I and my team promises to build on the foundation already laid. We will improve on what you have left behind.
“We will also prioritise the welfare of all our members across the industry agencies. I believe we already have a formidable branch chairman who can handle issues but the national is open to come in when the need arise.
“To our former President General, we are grateful for your sacrifices, whatever project you did not complete, we will complete it.
“One of such is the project of a suitable site for our Secretariat, we have started to work on it and it will be settled in no time,” he said.
Dr Kabir Gusau, the former President General of ANAP, enjoined the new leadership to put members first to in order to earn their loyalty.
“The union cannot pay for your service that is why is it a service of sacrifice and to God because you are fighting for the benefits of people and workers,” he said.
The chairmen of the various branches in the aviation agencies present at the inauguration, pledged their support to the new executive.
