For over 18 years, ex-workers are still waiting to collect their pension in full.

The statement says that the mop-up exercise: “is meant to verify ex-workers of the defunct Nigeria Airways who have genuine claims but are yet to be paid”.
More so, this verification exercise of ex-workers of Nigeria Airways is the last the Ministry of Finance will carry out.

“The Federal Government is determined to ensure that all former public workers, especially those of liquidated agencies, who have genuine and legitimate claims, are not denied of such, the statement concludes.”
Nigeria Airways was a flag carrier, and government was the sole owner until its liquidation in 2003.
Foreign companies like British Airways and KLM managed the airline until its cessation.
