Ifeanyi Onuba, AbujaThe Federal Government on Sunday said it is taking the verification and payment of ex-workers of the defunct Nigeria Airways Limited in Diaspora to London, United Kingdom. The two weeks exercise which will be conducted by an inter-ministerial team begins on Monday, June 24, 2019, at the Nigerian High Commission Complex in London, UK. The development was confirmed by a statement issued by the Acting Director of PICA, Mr John Waitono. The statement said the Federal Government approved the conduct of the exercise for those in Diaspora in London, due to the role the city of London played as the European Operational Office of the defunct NAL. The Federal Government had paid the first 50 per cent of the entitlements to the ex-workers who had completed their verification exercise in October 2018.
