Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, on Monday, urged the Federal Government to pay workers a living wage and not minimum wage.
Dogara noted that the N30, 000 demanded by organised labour is too small.
Dogara made the remarks during a public hearing on the minimum wage bill.
He said,
“While we’re not oblivion of the economic situation in the country, we are saying that the N30,000 being demanded by the organised labour union is still not enough for the minimum wage.
“We should be paying our workers living wage, not minimum wage”
