Domestic Workers, Housemaid or Servants Must Benefit From N70,000 Minimum Wage – Senate

 

The Senate and the National Council for Women Society have called for the inclusion of domestic workers in the proposed N70,000 National Minimum Wage Scheme.

This appeal was made during a public hearing on a bill that aims to establish an Act for the Domestication and Registration of domestic workers and employers in Nigeria.
