National Assembly staff protest over unpaid salaries, allowances

The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) Tuesday staged a protest at the National Assembly over the non-payment of their salaries and allowances.

The protest, which was directly at the lobby of the Senate, took place amid tight security.

Reports gathered that the staff turned out in large numbers and they made it early enough for the protest.

Some of the banners carried by the protesters have the inscription: ‘enough is enough. ‘the Clerk to the National Assembly has suddenly become stupendous’.

The protesters were singing: “Sani Omolori, juju de fail’, ‘Ole’ as they moved round the balcony to the chambers.

Sani Omolori is the Clerk to the National Assembly.
