Nigeria’s Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki has sued workers of the National Assembly for embarking on an industrial action over unpaid allowances.

In a an ex-parte motion issued by the National Industrial Court of Nigeria in Abuja, and which was signed by the Assistant Chief Registrar, Hauwa Yakubu, Esq., the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara sought a restraining order stopping the workers under the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) from proceeding on strike.

The “order of interim injunction”, issued through suit No. NICN/ABJ/360/2018 dated 18th December, 2018, directed the leadership of PASAN and their agents to refrain from proceeding on strike.

It states inter alia:

“An order of interim injunction restraining all the defendants /respondents, particularly their agents, provides, servants, however called from taking steps to proceed or proceeding on strike, pending the determination of the motion. ”

“An interim injunction restraining PASAN, their agents, privies, servants from giving directives to their members to proceed or proceeding on strike.”

The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria in the National Assembly on Monday embarked on a four-day warning strike over unpaid allowances to the tune of N2.7 billion.

PULSE NAIJA reports also that PASAN members were stopped from gaining access to the National Assembly on Wednesday when President Muhammadu Buhari presented the 2019 appropriation bill.

FTC, I saw it coming! Lol

NASS leadership should've done better, nonetheless sending Dullard to Daura should be the most patriotic thing to do by every sensible Nigerian come 2019.

Saraki is not well.

DUDE is sick.
pdpigx full of irony.

ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT SARAKI IS A FOOL.

Kikikiki the fear of BUHARI is the beginning of malfunctioning of SARAKI'S brain

Na this kind person dey aspire to be the President of our country

It's the responsibility of the FG/Saraki to pay them? Whatsoever, these workers should be pay their entitlements.

I hope the Legislators are also owed salary and allowance the same number of months the PASN are been owed... What’s good for Goose is also good for Gander....

Imagine.

Saraki is a bastard

For on top their own money you wan sue them..
A bastard is better than saraki

Draconian move

Saraki following the path of his master Buhari.....

One more kudos to a failed country

Nigeria my country

Saraki please pay them their money.

You just develop goose bumps when you remember that this guy narrowly lost at PDP presidential primaries. If he had won these same online PDP soldier ants would have been making the same noise about "making Nigeria great again" or perhaps another more attractive slogan. It is not by slogan. It is about character.

4 more years for Bubu joor!

Yea show them

Saraki is Growing Nigeria.

I Wished he had won the PDP primaries. Some people who are currently cursing him out no doubt would have been Sarakilating.

Who is saraki's Adviser? He keeps shooting himself in the foot.

Imagine ....



Yoruba people

Jonathan:
Saraki is a bastard

BMC pay per post

The National Assembly workers should be paid their allowances because they worked for it.

OK. We're waiting. Let the court decide

The most stupid and irrational of all, is that people would still wake to shout "one Nigeria". That people still want to be part of this country is shameful. A foreigner is ruling them in Aso Rock yet no protest no agitaion. They spend billions of their money to buy votes, no protest no agitation yet they claim they want a better life.. Shame to anyone that calls himself a Nigerian.

Way to go

Let the court adjudicate, instead of applying the illegal 'no work no pay' or Tinubu's measure of mass sacking of workers.

We must learn to follow the rule of law, always.
