Men of the Nigeria Police have taken over all the entrances to the National Assembly in a bid to ensure that Tuesday’s legislative session is not disrupted by the ongoing strike by the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN).

The policemen who were drafted to the complex early this morning were seen at the entrances of the National Assembly complex screening and profiling visitors and other people who were seeking entrance to the complex.

The PASAN members who commenced their strike on Monday blocked entrances to the Assembly complex and also cut off the water and electricity supplies to the complex to press home their demand for the payment of their outstanding salaries.

Fears were raised that the strike could threaten the presentation of the 2019 budget by President Muhammadu Buhari to a Joint Session of the National Assembly on Wednesday.
