Former Nigeria Airways’ staff allegedly received entitlements twice in error …AUGA calls for refund

Over 114 former staff of the defunct Nigeria Airways were allegedly paid their severance packages twice in error during the last verification and payment exercise conducted across the country. 

In a statement made available to the media, the Federal Government, through the Aviation Union Grand Alliance (AUGA), said many of the ex-workers were erroneously paid twice by the Accountant General, and were requested by their banks to reverse the excess.

According to the statement, however, while other banks cooperated with the office and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to revert the excess sums to the apex bank, about 114 beneficiaries whose accounts were domiciled with the United Bank of Africa (UBA), were yet to do so. 

The AUGA President, Lukeman Animashaun, reportedly requested the affected staff to visit all UBA branches by Monday unfailingly, as requested by the bank’s management, to effect reversal of the excess sums in order to allow other colleagues, who are yet to be paid, benefit from the 50 per cent severance package. 

Animashaun warned that if the beneficiaries refused to do as requested, they would risk being delisted from future exercise. 

“This is to passionately appeal to all our colleagues (about 114 people) who bank with UBA PLC and were mistakenly credited twice in the ongoing payment exercise.

“While other banks have identified the error and promptly effected the reversal, UBA PLC demands each beneficiary’s directives. In view of this therefore, we kindly request all these 114 beneficiaries with mistaken double payments, who bank with UBA PLC, to please urgently go to their various UBA branches and effect the refund/reversal on Monday 31-12-18.

“We passionately appeal to all those involved to respond accordingly on Monday, 31st December 2018, in everyone’s interest, and avoid being delisted from future exercise,” the statement read.

Out of the 114 names released by AUGA, seven were, however, repeated as can be seen below:
