Written by wave FM on November 21, 2020
Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, PASAN, a body of staff working in the National and State Assemblies has expressed disappointment over non-implementation of financial autonomy for state legislative houses.
Speaking after the session of the National Executive Council meeting of PASAN in Abuja, National President of PASAN, MOHAMMED USMAN said President MUHAMMADU BUHARI last year signed Executive Order 10 demanding financial autonomy for State legislative houses, but governors of States and Speakers were working against the financial autonomy.
He said PASAN will have no option than shut down all State Houses of Assembly nationwide if financial autonomy was not granted in line with the wishes of the people.
In a communique, the Association called for immediate implementation of financial autonomy and withdrawal of law suit from courts seeking to quash Executive Order 10.
