Postgraduate School, Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State Abstract The paper investigated the major conflicts of interests existing between the assembly members and the people they are representing and suggested possible ways in which the personal assistants of the national assembly members could help them to resolve such conflicts and foster good relationship. It was shown that the people and the assembly members may differ in opinions because of the varying levels of sensitivity of the assembly members to certain issues, however, the personal assistants of the assembly members could help by adopting conflict resolution and management techniques and take some definite steps in addressing such issues. The steps to be taken have been well enumerated and a model was suggested.
