Employees of the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET) have called off their strike following the federal government’s intervention.

The workers on Wednesday commenced an indefinite strike over welfare issues, including “NiMet’s refusal to negotiate or implement agreed financial allowances and unresolved entitlements”, as well as wage awards, peculiar allowances, and outstanding payments from the 2019 minimum wage.

They also accused the management of the agency of withholding important documents, ignoring requests for inclusion of omitted staff in past payments, and neglecting key training programmes in favour of executive retreats.

However, on Thursday, the workers called off the strike following a closed-door meeting between Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation and aerospace development, and executives of NiMet.

The suspension of the strike is pending the outcome of the minister’s intervention on the issues raised.

Speaking after the meeting, Aba Ocheme, national secretary of the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), confirmed the decision:

“We have resolved to suspend the ongoing strike till May 13, 2025, in recognition of the honourable minister’s timely and sincere intervention. We await the progress of the actions he has committed to take,” Ocheme said

Alale Adedayo, the national president of the Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals (ANAP), noted that the unions called of the strike as mark of respect for the minister’s intervention.

According to a statement by Tunde Moshood, his media aide, Keyamo expressed empathy with the affected workers and pledged commitment to finding lasting solutions to their concerns.

Moshood said the minister promised to take measures to fast-track the resolution of the pressing issues, including formal communications with President Bola Tinubu and Wale Edun, the minister of finance.

The strike had led to Air Peace grounding all flight operations across the country due to the unavailability of QNH (hazardous weather) reports required for safe landings.

EFCC arraigns Blessing CEO over alleged N36m fraud

Social media influencer and relationship therapist Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged ₦36 million fraud case in Lagos. The influencer was docked before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi on Friday on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and alleged theft. The EFCC alleged that Blessing CEO obtained ₦36 million from one Mrs Ifeyinwa Nonye Okoye between July 14 and 17, 2024, under the pretext of securing a six-bedroom duplex in Lekki, Lagos. Prosecutors claimed the representation was false and violated provisions of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006. The anti-graft agency also accused her of converting the funds for personal use. Blessing CEO pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were read before the court. Following her plea, EFCC counsel requested that she be remanded pending trial, while her defence team informed the court that they had just received the charge documents and intended to file a bail application. Justice D.I. Dipeolu subsequently ordered that she be remanded in EFCC custody pending the hearing of her bail application. The matter was adjourned until June 5, 2026, for trial.
