NAMA To Fast-Track Payment Of Retirees’ Benefits

The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has restated its determination to fast-track payment of entitlements and other benefits to retiring staff of the agency.
Managing Director of NAMA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, in a statement made available to aviation correspondents on Tuesday, lamented that retirees were left to wallow in poverty, after putting 35 years in service of their fatherland.
According to the statement, the entitlements and other benefits accruing to retirees were subjected to all manner of administrative and bureaucratic bottlenecks.
The Managing Director, while assuring that retirees will henceforth be paid their entitlements at the point of exit, also commended staff of the agency for their contributions to the growth of the agency.
The NAMA boss enjoined staff of the agency to continue to put in their best, and always strive to sustain the legacy of the agency, assuring that their labour would not be in vain.
He also urged heads of departments to always cooperate among themselves so as to engender brotherhood and harmony in the system.
“The agency was able to get to where it is today through the dedication, hard work, sense of purpose, firm belief and determination of staff to promote the growth of the agency “, he said.
The statement however, put to record of the contribution and reputation of NAMA in the aviation industry which speaks volume about the humble disposition of the agency in the sector.
