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.
