The federal government has sacked the director of
finance of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria
(FAAN), Mr Tochukwu Bede Uchendu.
Uchendu was relieved of his appointment following
a petition by two leading aviation labour unions
over irregularities associated with his appointment
and unapproved waiver grants worth N1 billion,
respectively.
The Transport Services Senior Staff Association of
Nigeria (ATSSSAN) and the National Union of Air
Transport Employees (NUATE) had last week,
petitioned the head of service of the federation
calling for the sack of two directors in the FAAN –
the directors of finance and commercial.
In a letter dated April 27, 2015, which was signed
by the director of Human Resources, A. A. Tsafe, for
the Minister of Aviation, Uchendu was directed to
vacate the office until a due process initiated for his
appointment was concluded and formal letter of
appointment issued to him.
“We regretfully inform you that the letter (his
appointment letter) is hereby withdrawn pending
the conclusion of the necessary due process on the
matter,” it said.
