June 14, (THEWILL) – The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) of the National Assembly, has suspended its strike.
Branch Chairman, Sunday Sabiyi and National President of PASAN, Mohammed Usman, said management has agreed to pay all outstanding allowances between now and July.
The workers, had in a statement on Sunday, June 5, 2022, announced an indefinite strike, over the non-payment of a backlog of salaries and allowances by the National Assembly management.
The workers said they resolved to embark on the strike over the failure of the National Assembly management to implement the subsisting Memorandum of Understanding jointly signed by the NASC and NASS management and PASAN on April 13, 2021.
Addressing the workers at the entrance of the National Assembly on Tuesday, the PASAN Chairman, Sunday Sabiyi, said they agreed to suspend the strike, following some agreements reached with the leadership of the Senate.
Although the workers were displeased with the suspension of the industrial action, their leaders assured them the strike would resume without notice if agreement is breached.
The workers, however, threatened to resume the industrial action if agreements reached were not implemented by the end of July.
