BY IBRAHIM BAKARE

Less than a week after Organized Labour suspended public protest and Strike,the national body of Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) has threatened to shut down activities at the Rivers State House of Assembly if it continues to deny staff their entitlements.

The entitlements, include: unpaid four years outfit allowances of 2013 2014, 2019 and 2020 of the staff of the assembly.

National President of PASAN, Comrade Mohammed Usman in an interview with journalists decried the failure of the Rivers State Government to pay staff their allowances describing such act as unfortunate.

“it is so unfortunate that an office of such magnitude that staff are being denied of their right, the national would not take it, we will fight this thing to see that they are addressed” he said.

Comrade Usman Mohammed further noted that the national body of PASAN would write the leadership of the Rivers State House of Assembly “and if nothing is done after the ultimatum, believe me, the national would move to Rivers State just like the whole Labour moved here and we will shut down the house” he warned.
