By Bashir Bello, Kano
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on President Bola Tinubu to set up a committee to review and regulate prices of goods and commodities in the country against artificial hikes.
The NANS Senate President, Senator Okunomo Henry, made the call while applauding President Bola Tinubu for approving the long-awaited increase in the national minimum wage to N70,000 for workers.
In a statement made available to newsmen in Kano, Senator Henry described the action by the Tinubu-led administration as bold move towards realizing the Renewed Hope Agenda’s promise of a more prosperous and equitable Nigeria.
He said the new minimum wage is a testament to President Tinubu’s unwavering dedication to the welfare of Nigerian workers.
According to him, “This bold move demonstrates a clear commitment to revitalizing the economy, boosting worker morale, and fostering sustainable growth.
“The significance of this decision cannot be overstated. A higher minimum wage will not only enhance the purchasing power of workers but also stimulate economic activity, create jobs, and reduce income inequality. It is a vital step towards realizing the Renewed Hope Agenda’s promise of a more prosperous and equitable Nigeria.
“We urge Nigerian workers to reciprocate this gesture by rededicating themselves to their various roles, embracing innovation, and supporting the President’s efforts to overcome the current economic challenges. Together, we can build a more resilient and thriving nation.
“This new minimum wage is a testament to President Tinubu’s unwavering dedication to the welfare of Nigerian workers and his resolve to actualize the Renewed Hope Agenda. We commend his administration for this landmark achievement and pledge our support in this transformative journey.
“While the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) commends President Tinubu on the approval of a N70,000 minimum wage, we urge him to establish a committee to review and regulate market prices for goods and commodities,” the NANS Senate President, Senator Henry, however, stated.
