- 785 newly recruited workers inducted
Clerk to the National Assembly (CNA), Mr. Kamoru Ogunlana, yesterday said democratic governance has stabilised in Nigeria.
Ogunlana spoke during an induction ceremony the National Assembly leadership organised for 785 newly recruited staff in Abuja.
The CAN, who was represented by his Deputy, Bashir Yero, said the stability of democracy in Nigeria without any threat of military intervention made the National Assembly grow stronger as an institution in the last 26 years.
“Our democracy has continued to stabilize with no threat of military intervention and the National Assembly as an institution has grown stronger, more professional, and more responsive to the needs of the Nigerian people,” he said.
Ogunlana told the newly recruited workers that they joined the service of the National Assembly at the most auspicious time, which requires deep commitment, productivity, and professionalism as legislative workers.
“You are joining the service at a most auspicious time. It is important to note that working in the National Assembly is a calling that demands much more than academic qualifications or routine service.
“It requires a deep knowledge of legislative practice and procedures, high moral standards, and strong personal discipline.
“To succeed as legislative staff, you must master the mission, vision, and functions of the National Assembly.
“Be conversant with your civic duties, rights, and privileges as public servants; acquire and constantly update your knowledge on laws, rules, and regulations that govern the National Assembly Service.
“Embrace technology and develop digital skills to keep pace with the modern demand of legislative work and above all, remain loyal, diligent, and committed to the Service of our country through this great institution,” he added.
