President Muhammadu Buhari’s plan
to present the 2019 budget proposal to the Joint Session of the National
Assembly on Wednesday may not be achieved.
This is because of a four-day
warning strike to be embarked upon by the Parliamentary Staff Association of
Nigeria (PASAN)
In a letter of notification sent
to the leadership of the National Assembly on Friday, the association stated
that all its members would stay at home for four days beginning from Monday.
The letter signed by the
association’s chairman, Musa Bature Muhammed, reads:
“Sequel to our earlier notice of
strike action as contained in the Communique dated 29th November 2018, the
Congress of Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), National
Assembly Chapter, unanimously resolved at its emergency Congress held on 14th
December, 2018 to embark on a 4-day warning strike commencing from Monday, 17th
to 20th December, 2018.
“By this notice, be kindly
Informed that the entire Members of PASAN shall stay off their respectlve
duties on the above mentioned dates”
In a letter to the National
Assembly leadership, President Buhari had last Thursday hinted that he would be
at the National Assembly on Wednesday to present the 2019 budget proposal
before the two houses of the National Assembly.
Buhari’s letter had read: “May I
crave the kind indulgence of the House of Representatives to grant me the slot
of 11 hours on Wednesday, 19th December, 2018 to formally present the 2019
appropriation bill in a joint session and lay before the NASS the 2019 budget
proposal.”
