The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Labour and Employment, has intervened in the intra-union crises rocking the Parliamentary Staff of Nigeria (PASAN), National Assembly Chapter, with a view to resolving the impasse.
The union has been polarised following the vote of no confidence on its chairman, Comrade Sunday Sabiyi, over alleged misconduct by concerned staff of the association.
All efforts made by the management and the National Secretariat of the Union to resolve the crisis had proved abortive with the Concerned Staff, a group within the association demanding that a congress be called by the executive to render annual returns to members in line with its constitution.
However, the Federal Ministry Labour and Employment through the Registrar of Trade Unions has now given the executive an ultimatum to hold the congress before March 31st as a step towards resolving the dispute.
The Registrar of Trade Unions, Mr Olebe Alex, in a letter with dated 24th March, 2025, directed the Chairman of the Union, to hold the Congress.
