The House of Representatives has resolved to establish an ad hoc committee to investigate the delayed implementation of the ₦25,000 wage award and ₦32,000 palliative approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for Nigerian pensioners nearly two years ago. This decision was made during a plenary session, following a motion moved by Deputy Chief Whip, Ibrahim Ayokunle Isiaka.
The motion highlighted the prolonged non-payment of the presidentially approved support packages, which has caused significant hardship and discontent among pensioners. The House expressed concern over the situation and called for urgent action to address it.
