The newly elected Chairman of National Assembly Legislative Aides Forum (NASSLAF), 10th National Assembly, Emeka Nwala, has promised to represent the interest and welfare of members of the forum at all times.
Nwala made the promise during the inauguration of the newly elected Executive Committee members of the Forum held on Thursday, in Abuja.
He said that in line with his campaign manifesto, he has resolved to provide purposeful leadership designed to transform the Forum.
“We however promise to do all we can to promote your welfare. We will therefore cherish your support, prayers and constructive criticism.
He said his administration is determined with the collective support of all stakeholders to revive the hopes of all the members.
He promised to restore the lost glories in the areas of prompt payments of all entitlements like 28 Days, DTAs, trainings in and outside Abuja with their allowances and accompanying materials.
The chairman said he would “court a robust but healthy relationship” by engaging with the managements of the national assembly, National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) to realise promises made to the forum.
He appealed for cooperation and partnership from all stakeholders to create a much deserved synergy that would promote the well-being of aides.
Nwala, however, urged all aides to endeavour to deliver on their primary assignments of offering legislative support to principals in order to deepen Nigeria’s democracy.
In his remark, the Clerk of the National Assembly (CNA), Sani Tambawal represented by the Secretary, Human Resources and Staff Development Directorate, Birma Maina, urged the newly inaugurated exco to sustain the existing peace in the national assembly.
He promised to guarantee the welfare and well-being of the members of the forum.
