ABUJA-The National Assembly workers, under the auspices of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, (PASAN) earlier today staged a protest over unpaid arearers
It could be recalled that the Association had on Sunday announced the commencement of an indefinite strike by its members over non-payment of a backlog of salaries and allowances by the management through its Secretary-General, Hammed Awobifa.
Watch the protesting workers
Meanwhile, Punch had reported few days ago that the National President of PASAN, Mohammed Usman, who spoke on the matter had alleged that the management had refused to honour the MoU signed with the workers. His words: “Our placards have said it all, we are here demanding our entitlements. The strike is against the management because they refused to honour their part of the agreement in the MoU signed with staff members.
“We decided to embark on this strike after a series of consultations and reminders to the management. The staff members are angry because they are working at the National Assembly and they have nothing to show for it.
“If the National Assembly is formulating policies for other agencies and those ones are implementing them, there is no excuse for the National Assembly not to fulfil theirs.”
