PTAD's head, Tolulope Odunaiya, met with a retired airline workers group. The Association of Airways Retired Workers of Nigeria brought their pension concerns to the table. Their Chairman, Onuh Stephen, and a representative, Ahmed Sulu Gambari, were present. The main topic was getting former Nigerian Airways pensioners onto the official payroll.
Odunaiya expressed sympathy for the retirees' situation. She reiterated the Directorate's dedication to pensioner welfare. She also pointed out a legal limitation. PTAD cannot simply add pensioners without a formal order from higher authorities.
Her advice was for the association to keep pushing its case with those relevant government bodies. The goal remains getting their members, who were pensioners before the airline's liquidation, properly registered for payments. The Directorate must work within its set legal boundaries.
