The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has assured the families of personnel who perished in a recent aircraft crash in Ondo State that their salaries will continue to be paid until official death benefits are processed and cleared.

The assurance was provided to the bereaved kin to ensure financial stability during the administrative period required to finalize the disbursement of statutory death benefits.

By guaranteeing the continuation of salary payments, the NAF aims to bridge the gap between the incident and the final settlement of the victims' entitlements, addressing immediate concerns raised by the families regarding income continuity.

This move underscores the military's commitment to supporting the dependents of its personnel in the aftermath of the tragic accident, ensuring that no family is left without financial support while bureaucratic processes are completed.
