There are strong indications that the nationwide strike declared by the Organised labour which commences tomorrow, Tuesday, 6th November, 2018 may stall the resumption of National Assembly.
The lawmakers who embarked on two weeks recess on Wednesday, 24th October, 2018 are scheduled to resume for plenary session tomorrow.
The notice of strike action was contained in an internal memo titled: titled: ‘Re: Directive to mobilize and embark on nationwide strike action commencing Tuesday, 6th November, 2018’, issued and signed by Suleiman Haruna, Secretary of Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN).
