as Authority explains non-payment of salaries
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority
(NCAA), on Sunday, disclaimed reports stating that 100 persons were
interviewed and employed by the Authority in Abuja without ministerial
approval.
Muhtar Usman, director-general, NCAA, in
his reaction, said he sought and obtained ministerial approval for
renewal of contracts for 45 Aviation Safety Inspectors (ASI) whose
contracts had expired, contrary to the claims by the National Union of
Air Transport Employees (NUATE), that instead of the Authority paying
outstanding salaries of those workers who were recalled by the Ministry
of Aviation, it went ahead to employ more 100 personnel.
