Protesting staff of the National Assembly and National Assembly Service Commission have said they were tired of discussions and conversations on the issue of salary review.

They insisted that all they wanted was credit alerts on their phones. 

The workers under, the auspices of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, said they wouldn’t call off the strike or engage in any conversation with the management of the national assembly until they received payment of the arrears of their unpaid salaries and allowances.

The workers, who blocked the gate of the National Assembly complex refused to listen to the Secretary,  Human Resources and Staff Development of the National Assembly, Suraj Oladoyin, who came to address them on behalf of the National Assembly clerk, Amos Ojo. 

Oladoyin tried to persuade the angry protesters about the need to sit at a table and discuss but they replied him with an uproar chanting, ” All we want are credit alerts,  we are tired of talking.”

The chairman of PASSAN,  Sunday Sabiyi, who tried to bring some calm to the situation, said the executives were also tired of the back and forth over the issue. However, it was expedient that they listened to the voice of reasoning. 

Sabiyi said, “We are all in this together and even the management would benefit from it. In fact, when the money is paid, they would get more money than us. 

“You cannot be more tired than the executives of the association. We have been on this issue for over three years. And this time, our request must be granted but we have to listen to them and have a dialogue. 

It was observed that no member of staff was allowed into the building and those who were not aware or interested in the planned protest, were turned back at the gate. 

It was gathered that the water and the electricity at the NASS complex have also been disconnected.

They don use una salary pay delegates .

Dumb leaders, Dumber followers. Nonsense.

Shey dem swear give the leaders of this country?

Well, this is what happens when ethnocracy is valued over meritocracy.

People who shouldn't have business in the corridors of power have been foisted on the nation because of hate for a particular region.

I hope we get it right next year by voting someone who have the interest of the nation at heart. Someone like Peter Obi

Ok

I just dey laugh people when believe in one Nigeria...

All these gimmick to paint Lawan bad.

But it has failed

Lawan is our able consensus candidate.

NASS is protesting for salaries and Lawan is pushing his agenda for Presidency.

I hope he gets the APC ticket so that he can be roundly beaten by Peter Obi the Rock!!

Weird things happening under this administration are uncountable. Such key employees are being owed, ASUU. Meanwhile a fulani accountant could steal nearly 100bn naira...just one person and that's what could be accounted for. The millions of dollar transfer into the personal account of the NIMASA boss on the instruction of malami is still there. We've truly seen the change they promised us.

The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose But otherwise is the case of our leaders. They wants the fragrance and the rise all to themselves.
I can’t pray for this country no more, it has never been better and I do not think it would be

And Lawan dey hustle President with im belle like pot wey Dem dey use cook Fufu

Ok Naa

Nobody from South West should cry if 2023 presidency doesn't come from South. I imagine what will be going through their minds now. Destroy APC, go back to regional politics, support PDP, support Peter Obi....the list is endless. Just because of greed of a man

When last did protest ever yield result in Nigeria... these animals in power don't care simple.

Baba 70 you talk am o.

Stomach Infrastructure People

These are the staffs closest to our politicians, if they can treat them this way that means they can do more to others, please continue the strike until they pay you, this is the best time you can strike.

Funny country with funny leaders.

Make una exercise patience politicians are so engage on election for now till una fit lock entrance gate.

Please I want to open a Mogul, will you die for my business to grow

Mad people everywhere

I say this apc go touch everybody...

Na only Senators, Ministers, Governors and political office holders never complain of salary before...

Go and pay them oga, just one of them is capable of offsetting all they owe amongst them.

If the legislators are not protesting then business is doing fine and the workers shouldn't suffer.

Tinubu over to you

Pay them so that dem go vote you

Naija na cruise

Pls nigerians, stop tribalistic comments.
Let's focus on issues rather than dragging each other and tribes... Will do more damage.

All they want is money is that too much to ask
