NASS Workers On Holiday Today As Goodluck Presents Budget

 
.
National Assembly workers got yesterday a strange holiday gift from their employers. They are to stay at home today till after the presentation of the 2014 budget by President Goodluck Jonathan to a joint session of the National Assembly.
Jonathan is expected to present the 2014 financial plans to the lawmakers by noon.
Director, Personnel Management of the National Assembly, Dr. Ishaya Habu Sarki, in a statement on behalf of the Clerk to the National Assembly, Salisu Maikasua, directed staff on Salary Grade Levels (SGL) 1 – 14 to resume work for the day by 2pm.
He warned that any worker who flouts the order would be made to face “strict disciplinary action”.
The President is expected to conclude his presentation before 2pm.
Although no reason was given for the stay-at-home order, sources said it was meant to ensure a hitch-free presentation.
The sources noted that the order may also not be unconnected with threats by some workers to create a scene during the presentation over welfare issues.
The source added that to assuage the workers, the management constituted a 10-man welfare committee to respond to their agitations and grievances.
National Assembly, Deputy Clerk O. Adejokun, in a statement announcing the committee, said: “As a way of improving on staff welfare matters, it has become imperative to have a standing committee to address welfare issues as they arise.
“Consequently, the Clerk has approved the established of Staff Welfare Committee, under the chairmanship of Mr. O.O Adelami, Director, Procurement and Supplies.
“Members are Dr. Ishaya Habu, Director of Personnel Management, Mr. Jerry Okorodudu, Deputy Director Accounts, Mrs R. Bira, PASAN Chairman, representative of Senate, Hajia Ramatu Ahmed, Deputy Director, House of Representatives, Austin Adesoro, Ifemoagba Osigwe Stanley and Tahir Sani.
