The National Assembly Service Commission (NASSC) has approved 60 years as retirement or 35 years of service for staff of the National Assembly.
The Commission also approved the retirement of the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr Mohammed Omolori and 149 senior officers.
A statement by the Commission’s Executive Chairman, Mr Ahmed Amshi, on Wednesday in Abuja explained the decision was reached at the 497th meeting of the Commission.
He said that staff who had already attained the retirement age of 60 years or 35 years of Service would receive their retirement letters soon.
The development was contrary to the resolution of both chambers of the 8th Assembly, which approved a new Conditions of Service for management and staff of the assembly.
The Conditions of Service had extended the retirement age to 65 years or 40 years of service among others.
