The Senate President of Nigeria, Dr Ahmad Lawan has pleaded with the Nigeria Labour Congress, to forgo its proposed industrial action over alleged delay in implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage.
Lawan made the appeal when the executives of the NLC and the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, (PASAN) led by Mr Ayuba Waba and Sunday Sabiyi paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.
Lawan called for further understanding and patriotism, adding that some states had started paying the agreed minimum wage.
He also assured PASAN to collaborate with the management and leadership of the National Assembly, urging it to present issue-based arguments, instead on engaging strike action to press home its demands.
He also said the ninth assembly would not be distracted, but remained focused in pursing growth in every sector of the country.
