Workers across 36 state houses of assembly and the National Assembly have threatened to embark on strike from Wednesday pending when their demands on autonomy of the legislative arm of the government would be granted.
Leading reporters gathered that the workers, under the auspices of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), are demanding that state governors commence immediate implementation of financial autonomy for state assemblies in line with the 1999 Constitution.
Acting Secretary General, Agugbue Ugochi Happiness, told journalists that they had issued a 21-day-ultimatum and the governors ignored the ultimatum till it expired on October 18, adding that the union further extended the ultimatum by one week.
