ABIA PARLIAMENTARY WORKERS EMBARK ON INDEFINITE STRIKE OVER AUTONOMY DISPUTE. (PHOTO).


 


Parliamentary workers in Abia State began an indefinite strike on Monday, protesting the state government's failure to implement Legislative Financial Autonomy. The workers, members of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), blocked the entrance to the assembly complex and displayed a strike notice banner.


According to Sunday Kalu, the state chairman of PASAN, the strike was called in response to the government's inaction on financial autonomy, consolidated legislative structure, and administrative autonomy. Despite issuing ultimatums in November 2024 and January 2025, the government has failed to address the workers' concerns.


Kalu noted that the union had previously gone on a warning strike in 2023 but suspended it after negotiations with the government. However, the situation remains unchanged, with the government still controlling the workers' salaries and allowances. The implementation of financial autonomy is mandated by Section 121 of the 1999 Constitution as amended.


The workers are also frustrated with the handling of their files, which have been moved to the Office of the Head of Service, hindering their promotions and activities. Kalu emphasized that the strike would continue until their demands are met.
