Inadequate verification forms from the Ministry of Finance, Presidential Initiative on Continuous Audit (PICA) department has stalled the on-going verification and data capturing exercise of former workers of defunct national carrier, Nigeria Airways.   

The exercise is holding at the Sky Catering Services at the Murtala Mohammed Airport (MMA), Lagos and sources told Saturday Sun that two retirees who had slumped while on the queue to get their documents verified were later pronounced dead after being rushed to hospital.

On Monday, officials of PICA had said that at least 500 retirees would be verified and captured daily for final disbursement of their entitlement, but five days after the commencement of the exercise, out of the 3,000 slated for the exercise, only 400 had been verified and gone through the data capturing.
