Retired employees of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (NAHCO) have called on the Federal Government to ensure they are included in the upcoming disbursement of President Bola Tinubu’s N758 billion pension bond.

Speaking to journalists in Lagos on Friday, General Secretary of the ex-NAHCO workers, Sanmi Alademomi, lamented that despite being part of the Defined Benefits Scheme, they were privatized without receiving their rightful entitlements.

A total of 936 retirees have been awaiting their severance packages for over 20 years since NAHCO’s privatization. The pensioners have been in a prolonged dispute with NAHCO and the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) over unpaid benefits, with the matter dragging on for more than four years.


Frustrated by the bureaucratic delays, the ex-workers resorted to legal action to demand their terminal and severance payments. They stressed the urgency of their plight, noting that some of their members have passed away without receiving their entitlements.

Appealing directly to President Tinubu, the retirees urged him to ensure a swift resolution of their case, emphasizing that theirs is a one-time settlement. They also expressed appreciation for the Bureau of Public Enterprises, led by Ayodeji Gbeleyi, for its ongoing support, as well as the cooperation between NAHCO and PTAD’s legal team in addressing the matter.
