Nigeria: Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers Threaten Strike Over Failing Equipment

Nigerian air traffic controllers are sounding the alarm, and the skies above the country could soon feel the consequences. The Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals, through its national president Edino Amos, has warned of a potential strike action over what members describe as persistently failing equipment.

Amos says 2026 has been an especially difficult year for controllers on the ground, with little to no improvement in the systems they depend on to safely manage Nigerian airspace. The frustration has clearly reached a tipping point.

For the millions of passengers moving through Nigerian airports, this is a situation worth watching closely.
