The Senate has vowed to fast track the consideration and passage of a new Minimum Wage Bill for the country.
This follows the suspension of the strike by the Organised Labour for five days to allow uninterrupted meetings with the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage.
Reacting to the development, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, during the plenary in Abuja today, commended the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and Trade Union Congress, TUC for suspending their indefinite strike.
Earlier, the Senator representing Plateau Central, Diket Plang, who chairs the Senate Committee on Labour and Employment, had sponsored a motion calling on the NLC and TUC to suspend the strike.
However, during the debate on the motion, the chamber learned that the NLC and TUC had suspended their strike action for one week to allow for further negotiations with the Federal Government.
Following the information, the Senate stepped down the motion.
