Outstanding payments demanded for former Nigeria Airways workers

11/01/07

The ITF has again demanded that workers of the now defunct national carrier be paid their entitlements as outlined under Nigerian law.

In a letter dated 5 January 2007, ITF General Secretary David Cockroft reminded Olusegun Obansajo, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria of the continuing plight of members of former employees of Nigeria Airways; the airline was wound up in 2004. The workers are represented by the ITF-affiliated Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers and National Union of Air Transport Employees.

Since the ITF’s previous communication with the government on the issue, the employees have been accorded public sector status and an inter-ministerial committee has been established to investigate the number of staff and pensioners involved. Yet the gratuity payments and retirement pensions to which the employees are entitled have still failed to materialise.

In last week’s letter, Cockroft told Obansanjo: “Our affiliates continue to be concerned however at the delays in the process to recompense them, not least because the problems of poverty, homelessness, unpaid school fees continue.”

He added: “I welcome the efforts by the Nigerian legislature and its civil service to address the issues faced by our members as a result of the demise of Nigerian Airways and believe that a final resolution is now at hand if our affiliates’ demands are now met.”
