By Sanni Onogu, Abuja
The Clerk of the National Assembly (CNA), Olatunde Amos Ojo, on Tuesday, urged the staff of the legislature to eschew all forms of ethnic and religious bigotry.
Ojo gave the charge in his speech at the opening session of the 4th Quarter Training Workshop on “Tendering and Negotiation Skills” for staff of the Procurement Department of National Assembly, in Abuja.
He called on the workers to be dutiful, punctual and disciplined in order to improve the delivery of the legislative mandate of the bureaucracy.
He said the management of the 9th National Assembly would vigorously pursue training as part of its programmes to improve the skills and competences of its workforce.
Minister to NASS: We need legislation to develop Area Councils“We must not allow ourselves to be pulled down or controlled by the negative doctrines of ethnicity, religious sentiments, unnecessary parochialism, backbiting and infighting.
“As you all know, our brand of Public Service is much different from the conventional types in the country; as legislative staff, we must always display the highest level of professionalism and excellent ethical competence, in order to be able to deliver on our core statutory mandates in this parliamentary democracy.”
