Kunle Akogun 28 June 2011 In a move aimed at a possible redress of the perceived exclusion of the South-west geo-political zone from principal political offices in the current dispensation, some leaders of the zone have launched a campaign for the appointment of the next Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) from the zone. The tenure of incumbent Chairman of the board of the Commission will come to an end in October this year and it was learnt that the authorities have already flagged off a search for the likely nominees into the 12 member board and the Chairman of the Commission. NASC is the body empowered to regulate issues of recruitment, promotions and remunerations of National Assembly staff
