National Assembly Workers Call Off Strike

Workers of the National Assembly who are members of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, PASAN, have called off their strike.

The legislative workers went on strike to urge their demands and protest the delay in completely adopting their revised service conditions.

However, PASAN Chairman, Sunday Sabiyi, who spoke with journalists Tuesday outside the National Assembly’s entrance, said they agreed to suspend the strike following certain agreements struck with Senate leadership.

PASAN, on the other hand, has vowed to resume protest and an indefinite strike if the Senate fails to adopt their requests by the end of July, as discussed at their meeting.

ASUU President Prof Emmanuel Osodeke said this to reporters on Monday in Abuja. Recall that the demands of the striking lecturers include funds for the revitalization of public institutions, Earned Academic Allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution, and promotion arrears.

Another issue is the renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FG Agreement, as well as inconsistencies in the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System.

Despite the prolonged strike, several members of the varsity association are said to have withdrawn to continue their academic duties.
