The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria have threatened to embark on industrial action to press home their demand for the implementation of the Financial Autonomy for State Houses of Assembly.
It could be recalled that the association had embarked on strike in March this year over failure on the part of State Governments to grant state Houses of Assembly Financial Autonomy.
Day Break gathered that it took the intervention of the state governors and other stakeholders who agreed that State Governments would implement their demands within 45 days which led to the suspension of the industrial action in June, 2021.
The ultimatum expired Thursday last week with the union members threatening to embark on another strike.
The Chairman of the Association, Benue State House of Assembly Chapter, Mr Francis Adole said states like Ekiti, Sokoto, Plateau have commenced the implementation of the financial autonomy for their States legislatures and enjoined Benue State to emulate them.
Day Break learned that, Benue State House of Assembly had passed the Assembly Funds Management Law and transmitted same to the executive for accent to pave the way for its implementation of the aforementioned autonomy.
