Kamoru Ogunlana, the National Assembly's Clerk, has cautioned against staff promotions and hiring decisions made based on external factors instead of merit, competence, and experience. Ogunlana emphasized that such practices could lead to legal issues and instability within the institution. He also advocated for a shift away from ad hoc training methods for National Assembly personnel, suggesting that the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies should be utilized more extensively to build the capacity of legislative workers and make better use of limited resources.
Ogunlana's remarks were made during the opening of a three-day retreat for top National Assembly officials and the National Assembly Service Commission, held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja. The CNA stressed that the National Assembly service is professional and must comply with the National Assembly Service Act 2014 and the applicable service scheme, with merit and competence as the primary criteria for personnel decisions.
