Clerk defies retirement, performs duties at Senate plenary

A retired Clerk of the Senate, Ibrahim Dauda El-Ladan, Tuesday defied retirement and performed official duties at the Senate’s plenary.   

The National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) had written to El-Ladan, asking him to proceed on retirement from February 9.  

NASC Chairman, Ahmed Kadi Amshi, in a letter addressed to El-Ladan, had asked him to hand over to the Deputy Clerk, Senate (Legislative), Ilobah Isabella Ugochi.

The letter partly read: “The commission at its 547th meeting held on Wednesday, 9th February, 2022, has approved your retirement from service with effect from 9th February, 2022. 

“The commission wishes to acknowledge your immense contribution to the growth and development of the National Assembly Service.”  

Despite the communication, El-Ladan defied retirement and performed official duties at the plenary on Tuesday.  

Director of Information, NASC, Janeth Manbula, did not respond to phone calls put through to her line.  

But a staffer of the commission said El-Ladan’s action amounted to gross misconduct and that disciplinary action would be taken against him in line with public service rules.
