Administrative activities may be crippled in state houses of assembly as the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, PASAN, an affiliate workers union of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has directed members to begin an indefinite strike from today, March 23, 2021.
At a briefing in Abuja, the National President of PASAN, Usman Mohammed, said the action has become inevitable following the government’s unwillingness to grant financial autonomy to state judiciary and legislature.
The union had issued several times in the last two years a 21, 14, and 7-day strike notice to the Federal Government over their demand.
The PASAN called on the National Assembly and the presidency to intervene to avoid a total collapse of the administrative activities in the legislature.
