A new lease of responsibility and productivity will be injected into staff of the Legislature if their retirement age is reviewed upwards. Sanusi Mohammed argues
It is agreed among legislative historians, scholars and stakeholders that the legislature’s long and daunting road to its independence, its relatively young history when juxtaposed with other coequal arms of government is instructive and informed us that every step should be taken to encourage its evolution and transformation into an institution of repute. There is no doubt that the oegislature requires strong capacity and robust knowledge to pilot and stabilize it bureaucratic system.
Because the Legislature also performs vital and valuable roles in the affairs of a functioning democracy, as the institution that links the government with the governed, this recent bill seeking to raise the retirement age of legislative staff from 60 to 65 years, and years of service from 40 to 45 years, as against the usual service years of 40 years is a welcome development.
The Acting National President of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria , Comrade Tommy Etim Okon, in a recent media chat said that the organization is already pushing the issue of upward review of age of service for civil servants from 60 to 65, and years of service from 40 to 45 years, with the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The five year extension of service for legislative houses in Nigeria, most especially for the National Assembly staff is the only avenue to guarantee transfer of practical experience and knowledge, by the top echelon of staff, who are on their way out.
