The Clerk to the National Assembly (CNA), Mr. Kamoru Ogunlana, has advocated for a comprehensive review of the National Assembly Service Act and other essential legislative frameworks to bolster staff welfare and enhance the overall efficiency of the parliamentary bureaucracy.

In a statement issued by the Director of Information, Mr. Bullah Audu Bi-Allah, the CNA reaffirmed his commitment to continue the infrastructural initiatives of his predecessor and also tackle critical security concerns within the National Assembly.

He stressed the need for a proactive approach to building a stronger and more resilient National Assembly that can meet the demands of modern governance.

Mr. Ogunlana expressed his appreciation for the contributions of the management team, acknowledging their role in ensuring the continued efficiency of the institution.

He also underscored the need for collaborative efforts in advancing the institution’s goals.
