Workers of the National Assembly Service (NASS) are currently seeking a return to the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) barely two years after a bill, which was concluded at the twilight of the Buhari administration, removed them from the scheme.
The National Assembly Service Pensions Board (Establishment) Act, enacted in April 2023, created a separate pension board for NASS personnel, effectively removing them from the CPS under the Pension Reform Act (PRA) 2014.
The disclosure was made by the Clerk of the National Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana, during a stakeholders’ engagement on the review of the PRA 2014 organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Pensions in Abuja.
Represented by an official of the assembly, Ogunlana announced the service’s interest in rejoining the CPS in a memorandum submitted to the committee.
