The House Committee on Public Petitions has adjourned the hearing on a petition concerning promotion-related administrative issues at the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority, NNRA, to March 11, 2026.
The adjournment is aimed at allowing the parties to explore Alternative Dispute Resolution, ADR, as a means of reaching an amicable settlement.
According to NAN, the petition was filed by Mr. Abdulhadi Abdullahi, Deputy General Manager (Legal) at the National Institute of Radiation Protection and Research, NIRPR, a technical service organization under the NNRA.
The petition, numbered 732 of 2025, seeks the committee’s intervention regarding the outcome of the 2020 NNRA Committee on Regularisation of Appointment and Staff Audit, as well as issues of prolonged promotion stagnation.
The committee also reaffirmed its commitment to protecting citizens’ and public officers’ constitutional right to petition the National Assembly without fear of intimidation or administrative sanctions.
