PASAN’s strike cripples legislative activities at Katsina assembly
The strike embarked by the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, since November 26, 2025, has crippled legislative activities at the Katsina State House of Assembly.
The parliamentary staff embarked on a nationwide strike over the non-implementation of the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure by some state governments.
The PASAN chairman of the assembly, Idris Abdulmuminu-Suleiman, disclosed this in an interview in Katsina on Monday.
He further explained that, despite a series of promises by the state government, they were yet to start enjoying the package.
In October 2023, the parliamentary workers also went on strike over the non-implementation of the salary structure, financial autonomy, and the failure to review the conditions of service.
Mr Abdulmuminu-Suleiman explained that since the commencement of the strike, no legislative activities had taken place during that period.
“As you can see, even the lawmakers were not allowed to come in, because we have placed our members at the entrance. Although we have engaged the leadership of the assembly and the management regarding the issue.
“The leadership has assured us that our demand has been included in the 2026 budget,” the PASAN chairman disclosed.
