The lawmaker representing Nasarawa West zone, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada has called on President Bola Tinubu to approve at least ₦150,000 as the new national minimum wage.
Wadda made the call while speaking with newsmen in Keffi local government area of Nassarawa State.
The Social Democratic Party of Nigeria (SDP) chieftain asserted that the economic situation in the country is the reason he is making such a demand.
Speaking further, Wadada stated that he and other lawmakers were willing to make sacrifices in terms of reduction of their remunerations and allowances just to ensure Nigerian workers earned decent monthly salaries.
