Foreign Airlines To Sack 2,000 Nigerian Workers by Ofunaofu: 1:10pm On Mar 28, 2016 |
The National Union of Air Transport Employees
,NUATE, has revealed that foreign airlines plan to
sack about two thousand (2,000) Nigerian workers
due to what they claimed is their inability to transfer
their earnings to their respective home countries to
meet operational costs in accordance with
international rules because of new Central Bank of
Nigeria , CBN, policy on forex and fund transfer.
In a letter addressed to the Minister of State for
Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika and made available to
newsmen, Acting General Secretary of NUATE,
Comrade Olayinka Abioye said the plan has
destabilize the affected workers, adding that the
Federal Government should wade in and prevent the
huge job loss.
According to Abioye , “ The reason being adduced
for this danger is that their earnings in the past year
is under lock with the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN
, as they are unable to transfer these earnings to
their respective home countries to meet operational
costs in accordance with international rules.”
“Following concerns raised recently by leaders of
these workers and other stakeholders and in
appreciation of the good intent of the government’s
fiscal policy, we humbly make this clarion call for
your (Minister) intervention to grant foreign airlines
concession to repatriate their proceeds to their
home countries,” he said.
He added that should the foreign airlines go ahead
with the sacking of the workers it would not be in
the interest of the aviation sector and Nigeria as a
whole.
“We hasten to place on the front burner an
emerging threat confronting over 2, 000 private
sector aviation workers in Nigeria which requires
your intervention to forestall imminent loss of jobs
of these number of workers,” said Abioye.
