The aggrieved former NAL workers said they were asked to come to the ministry for verification and eventual payment of their retirement benefits being handled by the Presidential Initiative on Continuous Audit domiciled in the ministry of finance.
He lamented that “no arrangement have been made for our verification so far”. He added that they contacted the consultant handling the disbursement of the entitlements known as Jubril on Monday but “he refused to come because he has neither been paid nor his contract regularized.” Around 6:45pm Comrade Sam Nzene directed the protesters to proceed to the auditorium that the government has agreed to carry out the verification right away. However, the protesters divided themselves into two groups some proceeded to the auditorium others stayed back to sustain the pressure.
It would be recalled that the federal government had approved N22.68 billion for the ex-workers of the defunct national carrier.
Shuoo!!! I thought this matter had been settled by this government. Which one is this again?
