The labour leaders are barricading both major entry and exit of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The labour leaders said the protest is in line with the directive from the national headquarters over the brutalization of NLC President, Joe Ajaero in Imo State last week.
Members of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) blocked the airport on Thursday, November 9, leaving many travellers stranded.
