By the time those that will be paid respond by voting, some useless ppl that was sharing money to monarchs and so called elderstatemen when they were in power will be shouting it was rigged...

kolaaderin:


at least its raining in the right direction, not like the way it was shared for nothing during the last election

TheUbermensch:
Money that they will still embezzle.

Announcements like this is the government's way of telling us "see this money o we want to steal it". Only the wise would discern.

hammer6F:

The Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, said on Wednesday the Federal Government has approved the payment of N45billion severance package to former staff of the defunct Nigeria Airways.

The national carrier was liquidated by ex- President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration in 2005, and the workers had been embarking on protests nationwide over their unpaid entitlements.

Sirika told State House correspondents at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting that money has been approved for the settlement of the entitlements.

“Governments, in the past, decided just to liquidate Nigeria Airways without tending to the issue of the entitlements of the workers and they have been struggling to get that paid. We came in and took it very seriously.

“I’m happy to announce that Mr. President has approved N45 billion which has been confirmed to be the entitlements of these workers and Ministry of Finance has been instructed to pay the money. The ministry wrote to me last week that they have received the instruction to pay these workers, and therefore, they are setting up the modalities to pay.

“You should know it won’t be paid through my ministry before somebody will say I take some of it. It will be paid by finance through a process, and that process will commence very soon,’’ he said.

The minister disclosed that the Council approved the procurement of operational vehicles for Nigeria Port Authority (NPA) and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).

This is old news. This happened in 2017? OP, why na?

Jethrolite:
2019 is making this useless government perform.

Nahum777:
Lol, this country! God knows if I become president, at least 5000 people will see jail and many people will die by hanging for their past crimes. We will carry out thorough investigation from 1960 till date, set up a special court for corruption and get rid of all the old politicians and cabals by force. Then we need to sensitive Nigerians, they need to know that only us can build our country and no one will build it for us. Train some new set of intelligent Police guys, disarm the present police and use them for something else just to keep them employed. Focus on production and invest real big on technology. Offer ministerial jobs to skilled professionals only and monitor them big time to end corruption. Bring Nigerian professionals from all over the world to come help fix this gaddamn country.

It's not that hard to lead a country, but we have unwilling and dumb leaders.

Good one. Although most of them were incompetent and part of the crew that ran the carrier aground. Still a good gesture from FG. They should carry their wahala and go.

Sheuns:


At least they remembered the old staff. Their sweats (for those still alive) haven't gone in vain. Hope someone somewhere won't hold back or delay the payments sha, cos this is Nigeria.

LordofNaija:

Don't be a dickhead son
Think with your head that's what it is for.

gabbijason:
45billion for how many staff?

plaetton:

Nigeria Airways had one operational aircraft and 8,000 employees for several years before being liquidated.
Even 75% of the staff were ghost workers.

This gesture is just the easiest way to siphon N45b from the national treasury; ammunition for the 2019 campaign.
