NAHCO Promotes 800 Staff

Foremost national ground handling services provider, nahco aviance, has promoted over 846 out of its about 2000 workforce. The figure, according to the company, represents more than 45 percent of the company’s total workforce.

The promotion, which was approved by the Board of Directors, and announced over the weekend, was one of the staff improvement programmes by NAHCO Plc.

“The promotion which came against the background of an economy that is still in technical recession shows the importance that the Company places on its staff,” the company said.

In a statement announcing the promotion, the outgoing acting MD/ CEO, Mrs. Folashade Ode, said that the promotion exercise was based on well – defined criteria that ensured fairness and transparency and restated the company’s resolve to keep a happy and well–motivated workforce.

The statement said: “A more transparent, performance driven reward and compensation system will be put in place to improve our overall service quality with positive impact on our revenue and profitability.”

She urged all staff to reciprocate the Board’s kind gesture by rededicating themselves to their duties to further enhance the progress of NAHCO.

The company said the current promotion exercise came about two years after the Company promoted 390 staff. The last promotion carried out in September 2015 was widely applauded by the aviation unions and other stakeholders who urged other operators in the industry to emulate NAHCO’s commendable welfare policies.

“Only in July this year, the Company effected salary increment with some staff getting as much as 15 percent increase in their salaries,” the statement also said.

Ode welcomed the incoming MD/ CEO NAHCO Plc, Mr. Idris Yakubu. “Ode will formally hand over to Yakubu on November 20, 2017, after which she would revert to her portfolio of acting MD/ CEO of NAHCO EPI,” the company said.
