The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, has said that the National Assembly was ready to legalize a new Minimum Wage for Nigerians.
He, however, said that the legislature was only waiting for the executive to make a formal presentation to the National Assembly on the issue.
Saraki, who made this known in Abuja, said that the senate was aware of the need to review the current minimum wage.
He said that all the indices upon which the last minimum wage of N18, 000 was approved had changed and that there was, therefore, no need leaving the wage unchanged.
He acknowledged that the sufferings of Nigerians were glaring, and said that the national assembly was only waiting for the executive to present a bill for a wage review.
