STRIKE: Ondo State House Of Assembly Workers Suspend Strike
The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), Ondo State chapter, has suspended its proposed industrial action following the intervention of Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that PASAN in the state had issued a seven-day ultimatum, which elapsed on Monday, over the implementation of the salary scale for its members.
Speaking to newsmen on Monday in Akure, the state Chairperson of the association, Mrs Hellen Olorunfemi, commended the governor for approving the request of members on the implementation of the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure (CONLESS).
Olorunfemi said that the development would bring relief among parliamentary staff in the state.
“We tabled our demands before the governor, and to the glory of God, he gave instant approval.
“He directed the Head of Service and all concerned officers, to immediately prepare the necessary implementation table, so the process can begin without delay,” she said.
She noted that Ondo had been the only state left behind in the implementation of CONLESS in the South-West, which led to the planned strike before the governor’s intervention.
“Lagos and other states have long implemented this structure. We are happy that Ondo State is finally joining,” she added.
Olorunfemi also appreciated the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Chief Olamide Oladiji, for his unwavering support during the struggle.
She lauded the collaborative efforts of both the executive and legislative arms of government for the peaceful resolution.
“With the governor’s directive already being implemented by the office of the Accountant General, PASAN has officially suspended its planned strike action,” she stated.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
