FCT, Abuja – The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has revealed that works are ongoing to ensure Nigerians get survival packages while the minimum wage negotiations continue.

As reported by Premium Times, Abbas stated this in Abuja on Tuesday, July 15, at the National Policy Dialogue on Corruption, Social Norms and Behaviour Change in Nigeria, organised by the Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in collaboration with MacArthur Foundation.

The Speaker, who Hon Oluwole Oke of Osun State represented, said:

“A situation where the take-home pay of a large segment of the population is unable to take them home is a recipe for all manner of corruption.

“This is why the House of Representatives is particularly interested in the ongoing review of minimum wage in the country. The House this time around will ensure that Nigerians get a survival wage that could take them home.”
