The Progressive Staff Forum of the National Assembly has urged a faction of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) to explore lawful avenues in pressing their demands.
It said disputes should not be allowed to disrupt legislative activities.
In a statement issued on Monday in Abuja, the Coordinator of the forum, Comrade Isah Mohammed, advised the concerned staff to seek redress through the appropriate authorities.
He said they could petition the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or the Nigeria Police Force over any allegations of financial impropriety.
He cautioned that picketing or blocking access to the National Assembly would undermine parliamentary operations, stressing that disputes within PASAN should not be allowed to affect legislative duties.
According to him, the Clerk of the National Assembly, Barr. Kamoru Ogunlana, has already constituted a committee to look into the matter as part of efforts to address staff grievances.
The forum also appealed to security agencies to ensure peace and order within the National Assembly complex in the event of any planned protest.
It further urged all staff to work together in resolving internal disagreements, emphasising dialogue and lawful processes as the most effective means of addressing disputes.
