The Anambra State House of Assembly has commenced sitting after a prolonged strike embarked upon by the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria over non implementation of financial autonomy for State Houses of Assembly.

House of Assembly Correspondent, Chukwuemeka Modilim reports that the Speaker of the House, Right Honourable Uche Okafor while welcoming the lawmakers and the House of Assembly staff back to the House, charged them to discharge their duties with renewed vigor to meet the expectations of the people.

Right Honourable Okafor assured that the lawmakers will continue to enact laws that will meet the yearnings and aspirations of the people as well as ensure rapid development of the State.

Also at plenary, the House received the report of the state Auditor-General on the accounts of the Anambra State Government for the year ended 2020 which was referred to the House Committee on Public Accounts to make amends where necessary and report back to the House within two weeks.
