National Assembly staff under the
aegis of Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), have fixed Dec. 4
to stage a protest over unpaid salaries and allowances.
Mr Suleiman Haruna, the union’s
Secretary-General, announced this in a statement in Abuja.
Haurna said the first phase of
the protest would take place between Dec. 4 and Dec. 8.
The association said the move had
become necessary following nonchalant attitude of the national assembly
leadership to their demands.
He explained that the action
would be a blend of protest and picketing of offices within the assembly,
adding that the union would not tolerate default from members.
According to him, the action will
commence between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily within the stipulated days.
Haruna explained that members
were demanding to be put on the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure
(CONLESS).
“Also, all pending staff
promotions and conversion letters should be released with arrears fully paid on
or before Dec.31.
“The association has already
issued a two-week ultimatum to the management to fulfill these demands or face
strike,” he said.
