The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for agreeing to the national minimum wage of seventy thousand naira for the Nigerian workers.

The Speaker said President Tinubu’s action has shown that he is a compassionate and empathic leader who cares about the welfare of the citizens.

He said this significant agreement with the organized labour reflects the President’s profound understanding, and sensitivity to the challenges facing Nigerian workers, aligning seamlessly with his Renewed Hope agenda.
