National Assembly approves N45b for ex-Nigeria Airways’ workers

ABOUT 4,000 workers of the defunct Nigeria Airways Limited will soon smile to the banks with approval of their N45 billion severance benefits by the National Assembly, The Nation has learnt.

The approval was the last assignment the lawmakers carried out before they embarked on a two months’ recess.

The approval will pave the way for the seamless take-off of the new national carrier Nigeria Air in December.

According to sources, the Ministry of Finance’s officials have started holding crucial meeting to determine the payment procedure to be adopted.
