To mitigate the harsh economic effect of sustained increases in the price of petrol, the Federal Government is already considering an upward review of the wages of workers.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio gave the assurance on Tuesday while receiving the Ekiti State Governor, Abiodun Oyebanji, who paid him a courtesy visit 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 of fuel subsidy was the beginning of f#ghtingcorruption in the system. He said: “Nigeria as a country would not have survived the next few years if the fuel subsidy had not been removed. Salaries and wages of workers would be reviewed in order to ensure that Nigerians have a living wage.”
