Vehicles were prevented from plying the Murtala Muhammed airport roads as the aviation unions blocked all entrances leading to it.

This situation, however, grounded activities within the airport environment.

The development came as a follow-up to an earlier notice issued by the unions to embark on a two-day warning strike to among others forces the government to implement the new salary structure for the workers and stop the planned demolition of the offices of the aviation agencies.

As early as 4 am, the unions mobilized their members who took over the strategic entrances to the airport from the Ikeja axis, Mafoluku/Beesam axis and the Oshodi/Isolo to the tollgate from the international airport.

The unions forced the main gate of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), to be locked.
