The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), Ondo State Chapter, has issued a fresh seven-day ultimatum to the state government over the non-implementation of the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure (CONLESS) for staff of the Ondo State House of Assembly and the Assembly Service Commission.
In a letter dated October 13, 2025, and addressed to the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, PASAN said the new ultimatum followed the expiration of earlier 21-day and 14-day notices issued on August 22 and September 23, 2025, respectively.
The association, in the letter jointly signed by its Chairman, Comrade Oluwafemi Helen O., and Secretary, Comrade Akinyemi Adeyemi, said it had exhausted all lawful avenues to ensure the implementation of the salary structure, hence the need for the final warning.
According to the letter, the seven-day ultimatum, which began on Monday, October 13, will expire on Sunday, October 19, 2025, after which the union vowed to embark on an indefinite strike action if the government fails to meet their demand.
“The Union will embark on an indefinite strike action if the Government of Ondo State fails, refuses or neglects to respond to our request by implementing the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure (CONLESS) for our workers,” the statement read in part.
PASAN, however, assured that the union remains law-abiding and will not disrupt the existing peace and harmony in the state while pressing for its demand.
“We sincerely want to place on record that the Union is law-abiding and will not in any way obstruct the existing peace and harmony in the state,” the union added, while praying for divine guidance in the affairs of the government.
The association called on the state government to urgently address the issue to avert an industrial strike.
