The National Assembly says Nigeria’s democracy has continued to stabilise, with no threat of military intervention since the return to civil rule 26 years ago.
The Clerk to the National Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana, stated this at the induction ceremony for 785 newly recruited staff on Monday, in Abuja.
Ogunlana stressed that the stability of the nation’s democracy has enabled the legislature to grow stronger, more professional, and more responsive to Nigerians.
He told the new staff that they were joining the institution at a defining period that requires deep commitment, productivity, and professionalism.
He said: “Working in the National Assembly is a calling that demands more than academic qualifications. It requires knowledge of legislative practices and procedures, high moral standards, and strong personal discipline. You must understand the mission and vision of the Assembly, embrace technology, update your knowledge constantly, and remain loyal and diligent in service.”
According to him, the new employees are assured of management’s commitment to their welfare, noting that their salaries were being paid promptly and that their 28-day allowances had already been settled.
