Subsidy removal: FG set to review workers’ salary
Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has assured Nigerian workers of readiness of government to review salaries of its workers.
He gave the assurance when he received Governor of Ekiti State, Abiodun Oyebanji and members of the National Assembly from the state at the National Assembly.
Akpabio also noted that the removal of fuel subsidy by the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration was to address corruption in the petroleum sector. He said the removal was the beginning of fighting corruption in the system.
“Nigeria as a country would not have survived the next few years if the fuel subsidy had not been removed, adding, salaries and wages of workers would be reviewed in order to ensure that Nigerians have a living wage.”
He told the governor that “the Senate is very proud of your representatives in the 10th National Assembly. They are committed and dedicated members of the legislature and that means the people of Ekiti, the “Land of Knowledge” have a lot to offer this country particularly, the Senate. We will work with Ekiti State for the overall benefit of Nigerians”, he declared
