National Assembly Service Commission, on Thursday, queried the embattled Clerk to the National Assembly, Mohammed Sani-Omolori, for “gross insubordination to a constituted authority.”
NASC had, on Wednesday, asked the clerk and 150 other management staff to proceed on retirement, having reached the retirement period of 35 years of service.
But the clerk dismissed the directive, citing the revised Conditions of Service, which raised retirement period to 40 years in service, and the retirement age to 65 years.
He had argued that the commission lacked the powers to set aside the Revised Conditions of Service as passed by the 8th National Assembly.
Executive Chairman of the Commission, Ahmed Kadi Amshi, in a query to Sani-Omolori, said as an employee, the clerk had no authority to dictate anything to it.
He described the clerk’s press statement as gross insubordination to a constituted authority.
The NASC chairman gave the clerk 24 hours to explain to the commission why disciplinary action should not be taken against him.
