The staff at the National Assembly, led by the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, have begun an indefinite strike in protest of management's failure to pay a backlog of salaries and allowances.



PASAN issued the strike notice on Sunday through its Secretary General, Hammed Awobifa.

In a statement titled 'PASAN Declares Indefinite Strike to Demand Full Implementation of the Revised Conditions of Service (2018),' the association stated that the strike was triggered by three notices to management led by the Clerk of the National Assembly, Amos Ojo, within three weeks.

The statement read, “The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, National Assembly Service Commission and National Assembly (chapters), at its joint congress meeting(sic) of 2nd June, 2022, resolved to embark on an indefinite strike over the failure of the National Assembly management to implement the subsisting MoU jointly signed by NASC and NASS management and PASAN on the 13th of April, 2021.

“PASAN had issued a communiqué on the 28th March, 2022, where it demanded full implementation of the subsisting MoU and the Revised Conditions of Service. It also notified the National Assembly management of 21 days, 14 days and 7 days service of notice for industrial action if by 31st May, 2022, National Assembly Management failed to comply with the congress resolution.”
