The National Assembly management is warning parliamentary staff against staging a planned protest as lawmakers resume plenary today. The warning comes after members of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) threatened to embark on industrial action over unresolved welfare issues and alleged violations of the union’s constitution.
The management has cited concerns that the protest could disrupt legislative activities and has assured staff of their safety within the National Assembly complex. The staff have been directed to disregard calls for strike action, including work-to-rule or picketing, and to proceed with their official duties without fear or intimidation.
Some of the key demands by PASAN members include:
– Implementation of the National Assembly Service Pension Board Act
– Application of the new minimum wage and consequential adjustments
– Correction of salary shortfalls and remittance of statutory deductions
– Provision of official vehicles and staff buses
– Improved training templates for capacity development
The National Assembly management has emphasized its commitment to transparency, accountability, and staff welfare, urging employees to remain professional and focused on their official responsibilities.
