To mitigate the impact of the loss of gasoline subsidies, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has informed Nigerian employees that the government is willing to examine their salaries.
He pledged when he met with the Governor of Ekiti State, Abiodun Oyebanji, and members of the state’s National Assembly in the National Assembly.
Akpabio further stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration removed fuel subsidies to combat corruption in the petroleum sector. He stated that the removal was the first step in combating 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 to ensure that Nigerians have a living wage.”
“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
