According to Daily Times
The management of Dana Air today said it has commenced
the final payment of 70,000 dollars (about N10.5 million) to families of each
of the victims of its June 3 Lagos air crash.
Mr Tony Usidamen, Head of Corporate Communications, Dana
Air, made the disclosure. It will be recalled that a Dana air flight from Abuja
to Lagos crashed on June 3 at Iju-Ishaga, Lagos, killing all 153 persons
aboard, and some others on the ground.
Usidamen explained
that 70,000 dollars was being paid to each of the families of the victims by
Prestige Assurance Ltd., Insurer of Dana Air. “The final payment is necessary
after the advance payments of 30,000 dollars (about N4.7 million) to over 80
families,” he said and noted that the Civil Aviation Act stipulated that the
sum of 100,000 U.S. dollars, about N15 million, be paid as compensation tofamilies of victims of air disasters.
“Following receipt
of Letter of Authentication from the Probate Registry, our insurer has begun
balance payment of 70,000 U.S. dollars to affected families. Only four other
families have so far, presented the requisite Grant of Probate or Letter of
Administration, and payment will shortly be made to them too. In order to
assess and verify full compensation, it is necessary for claimants to produce
the required Grants of Probate or Letters of Administration,” he said.
