In spite the resolution of the Senate and the House of Representatives that approved a new Condition of Service for management and staff of the national assembly, the National Assembly Service Commission had approved the retirement of the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mohammed Sani-Omolori, and over hundreds of others.
According to the commission, staff that have already attained the retirement age of 60 years or 35 years of Service would receive their retirement letters soon.
The Executive Chairman of the Commission, Ahmed Amshi, in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja said the decision was reached at the 497th meeting of the Commission where it approved the retirement age of 60 years and 35 years of service for staff of the National Assembly.
The resolution of the National Assembly had extended the retirement age to 65 years or 40 years of service among others.
The implementation of conditions of service, however, faced strong opposition from some staff and members of Civil Society Organisations(CSOs).
