Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), has bagged the ‘Most Impactful Association Award’ in the aviation sector at the just concluded Nigeria Aviation Industry’s Awards (NIGAV) 2026.
Comrade John Ogbe, while receiving the award remarked, that the association’s approach to labour matters are guided by a clear respect for labour laws, institutional frameworks, and professional standards, making ATSSSAN a trusted voice not only for its members but also for industry stakeholders and regulators.
Comrade Ogbe said, the honour was deeply symbolic and well-deserved.
He noted that ATSSSAN has consistently distinguished itself in an environment where agitation can easily tilt into disruption.
He attributed the association’s success to its culture of constructive engagement.
“This conferment reflects years of disciplined service, principled advocacy, and a rare commitment to both progress and peace within Nigeria’s aviation industry. The association has chosen the higher path of diplomatic activism, engaging firmly, yet respectfully; advocating strongly, yet lawfully. Rather than confrontation for its own sake, ATSSSAN has built a reputation for dialogue, strategic engagement, and solutions-oriented advocacy”
NIGAV commended ATSSSAN for its ‘disciplined service, principled advocacy, and rare commitment to industrial peace and progress.’
The NIGAV Awards ceremony, held in Lagos, brought together key players across Nigeria’s aviation sector, with stakeholders applauding ATSSSAN for raising the bar for labour relations in the sector.
