The Senate declared on Friday that it would give the anticipated new minimum wage bill from the executive arm of government swift consideration. Senator Diket Plang (APC, Plateau Central), the chairman of the Senate Committee on Employment, Labour, and Productivity, revealed this in a statement. Senator Plang assured Nigerians that the 10th Senate and, by

extension, the 10th National Assembly are committed to improving the living conditions of workers in the country and tackling the high level of poverty at hand. He said: 'Efforts of the federal government and organised labour for agreeing to set in motion the necessary machinery to review the current minimum wage in Nigeria as contained in the memorandum of understanding signed by the negotiating parties are commendable.

' Plang, who commended the federal government for the proactive actions taken to avert a nationwide strike by workers last week, also warned the parties involved not to renege on agreements reached. 'Nigerians, and particularly members of this committee, are happy that the then-looming industrial unrest was averted by the memorandum of understanding entered into by the federal government, the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC.
