The demonstration highlights growing tension within the National Assembly workforce over what the staff describe as persistent neglect of their entitlements, including statutory wage adjustments and welfare packages.
The National Assembly staff have staged a protest over alleged non-implementation of the national minimum wage, unpaid allowances, and salary irregularities affecting workers in the federal legislature.
The protest was captured on a video, showing aggrieved staff members holding placards and chanting solidarity songs as they demanded urgent intervention from the authorities.
Sharing the footage, The ICIR wrote: "National Assembly staff are currently protesting over several issues, including alleged failure to implement minimum wage, non-payment of housing and wardrobe allowances, inadequate Muslim Salah bonuses, and short payment of staff salaries.”
In the video, the protesting workers were seen carrying placards with various inscriptions outlining their grievances, while repeatedly chanting “solidarity forever” as they called for better welfare conditions.
