NASS
The National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) has dismissed the Clerk to the National Assembly, Mohammed Sani-Omolori, and other senior management staff of the National parliament.
They were sacked in a letter by the Commission on Wednesday; the Commission declared any staff, who has spent 35 years in service or is 60 should leave with all their entitlements paid to them.
The Senate and House of Representatives had in 2018 approved the new conditions of service for National Assembly staff, which included an extension of tenure.
As a result of the amendment of the National assembly’s Condition of Service, the retirement age for the National Assembly public servants were moved from 35 to 40 years, while retirement age was upgraded from 60 to 65 years.

However, upon the appointment of the National Assembly Service Commission Chairman, Ahmed Amshi, early this year, the tenure extension started witnessing increased criticisms.
Amshi had set up a panel to investigate the issues around the tenure extension and consequent to submission of the panel’s report, Amshi wrote to the two Chambers seeking reversal of the 2018 resolutions to allow for Omolori’s dismissal as well as the 150 senior staff, whose tenure was extended.
The two chambers harmoniously agreed to the submissions of the panel, paving the way for the eventual sack of the clerk and other staff to theFederal Parliament.
