While congratulating Mrs Ocholor on her successful retirement from civil service, Governor Oborevwori noted that staff of the Assembly never went on strike throughout his time as Speaker of the Assembly.

“I am very happy to be in your midst today. It is also an opportunity to appreciate the staff of this Assembly.

“I could remember on the 11th of May, 2017 when I took over as Mr. Speaker. It was tough but the good thing is that none of the staff, even PASAN, went on strike for the six years I was Speaker.

“I want to urge you to continue to give Mr. Speaker and other principal officers of this Assembly, the same support that you people gave to us in the 6th and 7th Assemblies.
