Sani Omolori, clerk of the national assembly, has been forced to retire after a failed bid for his tenure and other senior management staff to be extended.
Omolori’s retirement was approved by the National Assembly Service Commission on Wednesday.
In a document signed by Ahmed Amshi, its chairman, the commission also approved the retirement age for national assembly staff as 60 years of age or upon 35 years of service.
It had been reported how Omolori failed to leave despite being due for retirement in February.
An illegal plot by the previous assembly saw the conditions of service of the national assembly staff being amended, increasing the requirement of retirement for the staff to 65 years or 40 years of pensionable service.
Some other senior management staff of the national assembly are also affected in the new development.
