The Senate and the National Council of Women Society, NCWS have advocated for the inclusion of domestic servants in Nigeria in the proposed N70,000 minimum wage when it comes into effect.

The call was at the National Assembly in Abuja during a public hearing on a bill seeking an Act to provide for the Domestication and Registration of domestic workers and Employers in Nigeria.

The public hearing on the bill sponsored by Senator BABANGIDA HUSSAINI representing Jigawa North West, was organized by the Senate Committee on Employment, Labour and Productivity chaired by Senator DIKET PLANG.

Chairman of the Committee, Senator DIKET PLANG, said an agency will surely be set up for the implementation of the proposed law, but the Ministry of Labour and Productivity will drive the operation from the onset.
