The group was reacting to perceived plots by certain people to throw out reviewed conditions of service for workers.

“The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria has expressed shock at the clandestine plot by some individuals to truncate the recently passed staff conditions of service, being enjoyed by its members”, the Chairman of the group stated.

He recalled that the new conditions of service, was an initiative of PASAN muted through the 5th National Assembly Service Commission, then presented to the 8th National Assembly and was since gazetted after it passed through the required due process.
