National Assembly workers, under the auspices of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, have resolved to begin an industrial action and picketing of the federal parliament on Monday. They have notified the Department of State Services and the Nigeria Police Force of the plan. The workers are protesting the non-payment of salaries and allowances among others. The National Assembly and National Assembly Service Commission chapters of PASAN held a joint congress in Abuja on Thursday where it was resolved that the workers should down tools. However, in a letter released by PASAN after the congress, the workers accused the management headed by the Clerk to the National Assembly, Ojo Amos, of failing to implement the Memorandum of Understanding signed with them.
