The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) on Thursday 20 December 2018 temporarily retracted from its position of strike action following assurances from National Assembly\u2019s management to meet\u00a0\u00a0 demands from a Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure (CONLESS) agreement that was approved in 2010.<\/p>\n
It will be recalled that legislative activities at the National Assembly were initially grounded in early and mid-December of 2018 as staff halted activities in protest over their salaries and allowances.<\/p>\n
Although both chambers of the National Assembly have gone ahead to adopt a report that seeks to improve the Conditions of Service for its bureaucratic staff, its leadership has since distanced itself from the protests; claiming that the payment of allowances issue is a managerial one. The Clerk to the National Assembly has also faulted the Executive for failing to release the appropriated sum despite its inclusion in the 2018 budget.<\/p>\n
Section 6(9) of the National Assembly Service Commission Act empowers the National Assembly to approve remuneration for its bureaucracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
