Members of House of Representatives on Thursday asked the management of Dana Airlines to pay compensation to the families of the victims of June 3 plane crash.
One hundred and fifty-three passengers and several others on the ground were killed in the crash that occurred in Iju area of Lagos.
In a resolution in Abuja, the House gave the airline up to July 3 to comply with the directive.
The House took the decision following a motion by Mr. Yakub Abiodun.
Abiodun had told the House that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Act makes provision for the payment of compensation to victims within 30 days of an air disaster.
However, the House said that experiences in the past showed that operators were in breach of the provision.
“We expect compliance and the airline has up to July 3 to pay the compensation,” he added.
