Desparation has a strange way of creating courage in the hearts of men. After, suffering the humiliation of:
- Their 3 years taxes deducted from source and not remitted to the Federal inland revenue service (FIRS),
- Their three years pension contributions vanishing into thin air,
- N57 million naira of their cooperative contributory savings unlawfully withheld by management,
- Going for four months (approximately 120 days) without their due salaries and remuneration.
- An audacious and unceremonious announcement that they have lost their livelihood.
It is designed to show the World that injustice has been perpetrated and redress is being sought in the ability of the regulatory agency NCAA where the sacked employees intend to end their march with a brief presentation of their petitions.
This peaceful protest is the beginning of wisdom for Air Nigeria
staff and other hapless Nigerian employees. We have to admit that
cronism and a pre-bendal culture of that breeds charlatan rent-seekers
is leading us to self destruction. Is there no iota of respect for law
in Nigeria? Who will account for our N35B that was used by AMCON to
refinance Air Nigeria's unsustainable debts?
Is there no protection for the over 700 Air Nigeria Staff? We need legal aid to stop this relentless undertaker. I'm hoping to arrange some volunteer/ free legal representation to seek redress in the law courts over these human rights and labour violations that are being condoned by NCAA and Federal ministry of Aviation due to legislative failure to enable fair labour laws to safeguard the integrity safety critical sectors such as aviation.
The antecedents have been with us for a while. Nigeria Airways staff are yet to receive their severance pay 11 years after the company was liquidated. Bellview employees are still waiting for their last six months salary nearly two years after the airline stopped operating. And now Air Nigeria is setting a similarly insane precedence.
It is not an over statement to say " we have had enough!" Shenanigans of ruthless entrepreneurs like Jimoh Ibrahim causes serious damage to the reputation of Nigeria's burgeoning aviation industry.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Sun. Hopefully, soon it'll be time for the wicked to run and hide
Enough is enough, it is time for new beginning.
