Minimum Wage: National Assembly staff go on strike January 7  

Workers at the National Assembly have threatened to commence strike on Monday in protest of non-payment of 15 months arrears of CONPECULIAR allowances and six months outstanding balance of minimum wage.

Chairman of the umbrella body of the workers, Parliament Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), Sunday Sabiyi, in a joint statement with the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission, M. A. Liman, after the congresses of the two bodies in Abuja, transmitted the resolutions of the association in a letter to the Clerk of the National Assembly, copied the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabimila, including the Chairman, National Assembly Service Commission, the Director, DSS and DPO of National Assembly.

PASAN accused the National Assembly management of breach of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), thus, the resolve to embark on strike.

“In view of the resolutions, congress resolves to embark on industrial action, commencing with mass picketing from Monday, 10th January 2022 in protest of the breach of the MOU,” leaders of the workers union declared in the letter.
