“The committee is to discuss issues concerning the minimum wage, to advice on possible modalities of working out ways to arrive at a compromise.
“Secondly, we have agreed that the 16-man committee will look at the issue of implementation and the allocation of resources on the half a trillion naira palliatives budgeted for by the Federal Government.
“On the issue of PPPRA board, I am glad to announce that the President has approved the appointment of Alhaji Muhammadu Buba, a former Managing Director of PPMC as the chairman of the board,” he said.
He added that the 16-man technical committee would submit its report within two weeks of their inauguration.
