bloomshorts Historic Approval for Retired Aviation Workers
The Federal Government has officially approved the disbursement of pensions to retired workers of the defunct Nigeria Airways, marking the end of a 22-year struggle for justice. The National Orientation Agency (NOA) announced the development, highlighting the Ministry of Aviation’s commitment to ensuring a transparent and fair process.
A Long-Awaited Relief
Nigeria Airways, which ceased operations in 2003 due to mismanagement and corruption, left over 6,000 workers without their full pensions and gratuities. The recent approval includes former staff of the airline, addressing years of sustained advocacy by unions for justice.
Commitment to Transparency
The Ministry of Aviation has pledged to begin disbursements soon, with a focus on transparency and fairness. This decision has been welcomed by stakeholders as a crucial step towards restoring dignity and trust in the aviation industry.
