To avoid a situation where the good works in place are brought down because of personal goals placed above organizational goals, workers in the aviation industry have been asked to exercise restraints from making a mountain out of a mole because of the recent activities of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigating alleged furniture allowance scam in the parastatal.
Making particular reference to some members of staff in Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), the publisher of Aviation Safety magazine, Alhaji Abdulyekeen Ibn Umar while condemned the “pull him down syndrome” in the system.
Umar who expressed his displeasure over the alleged struggle by some senior management staff of FAAN clamouring for the replacement of the current managing director Engr. Saleh Dunoma, cautioned that such actions were capable of bringing down the organisation.
He said: “There is too much scheming in FAAN and not in the interest of the organisation. FAAN must be allowed to grow. People should not drag others into the mud because they are getting drown. Name calling and threatening people with EFCC should be stopped, they should be allowed to do their job.”
The publisher however, called on aviation unions in the sector to rise up to the occasion by not taking side but do the needful, fight for the workers welfare in order to save the organisation from collapse.
While he supported that all those involved in the alleged N70 million furniture scam if found guilty must be brought to book, cautioned that the innocent ones should not be dragged into the matter because of personal vendetta, noting that such witch haunting, will wreck the system.
Umar who also noted that every reasonable Nigerian supports the current drive of President Muhammadu Buhari against corruption, stressed that it is the only way to liberate the country from poverty.
“We are tired of corruption in this country and every reasonable Nigerian will not support corruption,” he said.
