Hon Bello Usman Kumo Avers For Implementable Realistic Living Wage

The House of Representatives has urged the federal government to consider a living wage instead of a minimum wage for Nigerian workers. This resolution resulted from a motion of urgent public importance moved by the minority whip, Ali Isa (PDP, Gombe), on Wednesday during plenary. The House urged the government to redirect the focus of the ongoing negotiations from fixing a new minimum wage to fixing a realistic living wage for Nigerians.
