No end in sight for Ex-Nigeria Airways workers over severance pay
THERE appears to be no end in sight for ex-Nigeria Airways workers for the payment of their terminal benefits seven months after N45 billion was approved by the Federal Government to pay their severance benefits.
The aggrieved pensioners have reiterated their plea to the Minister of Finance to release the money to pay them for them to take care of their medical and other needs.
As at last month, it was gathered that no fewer than 900 pensioners of the defunct Nigeria Airways, have died while waiting for payment of their terminal benefits.
Chairman of Nigeria Airways’ branch of the Nigerian Union of Pensioners, NUP, Mr Sam Ezene, told Vanguard that the pensioners had been left in the cold as the Ministry of Finance had kept mute over the matter.
