THE House of Representatives says that it is yet to be formally served on the reported filing of Originating Summons with the National Industrial Court by some interested parties for the recognition of a number of questions relating to the subject of legislative action to increase the retirement age of parliamentary workers.

The statement by Akin Rotimi, MHR and House spokesman stated that the matter is now reported to be before the courts, “it would be prejudicial for us to comment at this time”.

According to the statement, the House of Representatives will respond appropriately “when in receipt of the summons and will ensure that all legal processes are followed in addressing the issues raised”.

“We assure the public that the House of Representatives is committed to upholding the constitution, the rule of law, and respecting the judicial process in this and all matters, and importantly, acting in the overall best interest of Nigerians,” it added.
