The president of the Nigerian Labour Congress NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba has called on the federal government to investigate the mismanagement of N300 billion aviation intervention funds
Comrade Waba who made the call at the 10th Quardrennial national delegates conference of the National Union of Air Transport Employees NUATE in Asaba stated that the fund running into billions of naira meant for bail out of airlines in distress are in private pockets.
Those funds must be accounted for by those involved in the disappearance of the funds meant for bail out, Wabba said.
He said it must be recovered and ploughed back into the system for infrastructural development in the aviation sector.
The NLC boss while commending the government for the release of part of Nigeria Airways workers severance package, Wabba called on the government to ensure the total settlement of the remaining money.
