A prominent member of the Senate leadership was said to have expressed disappointment at the manner some leaders in the Upper Chamber were insisting on the reversal of the conditions of service and sack of the Clerk to the NationalAssembly. NASS Reps
This decision, it was learnt, may have destroyed the cordial relationship between the two chambers, as the Senate leadership is reportedly seeking the reversal of the resolution to enable the National Assembly Service Commission terminate the tenure extension.
Both chambers had in 2018 debated and approved the new conditions of service for National Assembly staff, which included extension of tenure. But upon appointment of the National Assembly Service Commission chairman, Ahmed Amshi, early this year, the tenure extension started witnessing increased criticisms.Following submission of the panel’s report, Amshi wrote to the two chambers, seeking reversal of the 2018 resolutions to allow for Omolori’s sack, as well as the 150 senior staff, whose tenure was extended.
The letter, signed by Clerk to the House of Representatives, Patrick Giwa, and dated June 4, 2020, with reference number NASS /HR/LEG/14/3/30, stated that the House of Representatives leadership had chosen to maintain its earlier resolution on the matter and wouldn’t rescind it.
