Ex-Nigeria Airways Staff Visits Skypower to Process Severance Benefit.
The process, which is in its last stage, may benefit over 5,000 staff of the defunct Nigeria Airways.
Speaking during the exercise, the Director, Presidential initiative Continuos Audit (PICA) in the Ministry of Finance, Mr.
Seldam Dangin, said they were making a huge payment to the former workers, while claims involving deceased workers and their next-of-kin are still undergoing verification.
It was gathered that verification of the next-of-kin of deceased former employees commenced last week across the six geopolitical zones of the country. Dangin further disclosed that the verification exercise is aimed at establishing the identities and eligibility of the next-of-kin before the processing and payment of the outstanding severance benefits due to them. He said the exercise is coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Finance as part of efforts to conclude the long-running payment process and ensure that all eligible beneficiaries receive their entitlements. A beneficiary of the exercise, said that the government was committed to ensuring that both surviving former employees and the rightful next-of-kin of deceased beneficiaries were covered, subject to the completion of the required verification and documentation.
