The DG BPE however promised to meet with the Union for further negotiations.
Mrs Adetola Vanessa Uansohia, manager, Corporate Communications , who confirmed the development, said, it should be noted that SAHCO was officially listed as a PLC in 2018, “and while BPE was handing over SAHCO to the Stock Exchange, these benefits was not part of the liabilities handed over.

SAHCO, an ISAGO and RA3 certified service provider, also has a team of engineers who builds aviation ground support equipment from locally sourced equipment all in a bid to exceed customers’ expectations at all times.
“Recently, SAHCO celebrated her clients during the Customer Service week with a raffle draw of choice gifts and letters of acknowledgment to show how much they mean to SAHCO. These gestures of gratitude were well received by the clients and they expressed their appreciation for the topmost aviation ground service which they are enjoying as SAHCO’s clients”, Uansohia, said.
