Daily Report Nigeria recalls that the workers had in May 2020 written to the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, to fasten the implementation of the revised condition of service for members.

However, an executive of PASAN, who spoke to newsmen under anonymous condition, lamented that the lawmakers have turned a blind eye to their plight.

Hence, PASAN has taken the decision to shut down activities of the National Assembly pending when their its demands are met.

He said, “The two chapters, National Assembly Commission and the National Assembly chapter have unanimously agreed that we will are going on an indefinite strike because we have a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU that was signed but the management has refused to implement the agreement.

“The MoU was signed on March 21, 2020, but to date, nothing has been implemented.

“There was an act on consequential adjustment on minimum wage, the Federal Government has released fund for that but till date, the National Assembly Service is being owed the arrears of that minimum wage”.
