Abuja – The National Industrial Court Abuja has adjourned hearing in the suit filed by Capt. Njimogu Ezinwo, a pilot of the defunct Nigeria Airways against the Attorney General of the Federation for Nov. 29.

Joined in the suit are the Minister of Aviation and the Accountant General of the Federation.

Ezinwo is challenging his suspension from the defunct Nigeria Airways Ltd, the natinal carrier, in June 1982.

He is also asking the court to reinstate him since he had not reached the mandatory 35 years retirement age and payment of his accumulated entitlements from the date of his suspension.

At the resumed hearing of the case on Thursday, the court could not proceed with the case as Mr Imi Erahbor, Counsel to the Office of the Attorney General and Minister of Aviation, asked for an adjournment.

According to him, the adjournment will enable the officers to respond to issues raised by the claimant.

Counsel to Ezinwo, Lady (Mrs) Rose Mbah and Counsel to the Accountant General of the Federation, Mr Yahaya Abubakar, did not object to the adjournment.

Mbah, however, requested for a N30,000 cost which the court declined.

Justice Isele Esele adjourned hearing in the suit to Nov. 29.
