Delivering his address, Mogaji further stated that the main purpose of the tour was to discuss and share ideas with the members of the National Assembly Service Commission on key issues bordering on attainment of ‘‘full autonomy for the legislative arm of government, appointment and conditions of service of legislative aides and restructuring of the top hierarchy of the bureaucracy of the state assembly.”

This, according to him, would enable the legislative staff rise up to the highest echelon of their career like their counterparts in the ministries and other agencies of government.

While responding, the Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission, Dr. Adamu Muhammed Fika, assured the delegation of LAHASCOM that the National Assembly Service Commission would provide necessary support to ensure rapid development of the legislative institution and assembly service commissions in the federation.

According to him, the role of the legislative service commissions all over the world is to develop the legislative institution and ensure it performs its functions effectively.
