The Senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has called on the executive to resolve the issue of national minimum wage without further delay.
The senate president made the call yesterday while fielding questions from newsmen in Bamaina town, Birnin Kudu Local Government Area, Jigawa State, when he paid a courtesy visit to his co-presidential aspirant, Alhaji Sule Lamido, during his campaign tour to the state, saying that the matter was lingering for too long.
Saraki said in the interest of the economic and social development of the country, it is important for labour and government to get a lasting solution.
โThis issue of minimum wage is long overdue. It has been lingering for a very long time. It is very important to end the matter once and for all,โ he said.
Sarak said the National Assembly was waiting for the bill on minimum wage and would give it all the necessary consideration.
