National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) Wednesday ordered the immediate retirement of the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mohammed Sani Omolori, and also sent 149 other officials on compulsory retirement.
NASC, in a statement signed by its Executive Chairman, Ahmed Amshi, indicated that the Secretary of the commission, Olusanya Ajakaiye, was also affected.
The commission had earlier said any staff who has spent 35 years in service and have attained the age of 60 would receive a retirement letter.
The tenure of the clerk has been a matter of controversy because of the implementation of the National Assembly Revised Condition of Service which took effect in 2019.
The development appeared to have finally resolved the tenure elongation agitation for the Clerk of the National Assembly and the affected staff.
