The Senate has said that it is already planning a comprehensive legislative intervention that will ensure that workers in the private sector do not suffer job losses as a result of the outbreak of COV

ID-19 in the country.

“As we all know, the executive arm of government is already trying its best, within the confines of the law. What we, as a legislature, can do is to still liaise with the executive because if we make any pronouncement now, we don’t know what the government has done or being done to assist the private firms.

“The Federal Government is working round the clock to ensure that the post-COVID-19 fallout does not have an adverse effect on the economy and by extension, on the generality of the people. He admitted that the federal parliament at the moment did not have the details of the beneficiaries of the N500bn intervention fund.He said, “The N500bn intervention fund is still undergoing process. The executive has incorporated it in the proposal they are bringing for amendment to the National Assembly.

Is she the Minister of Labor and employment? This country is indeed a joke

Hmmmm for wat,most of the people in our Nigeria cabinet who has brain are not up 2 five I swear.

The finance minister should give account on how ahe spent the money contributed for covid 19. She pocket the money into her private bank account with her colleague

Watching this guys like seriously,how is job loss her fault. This guys most be suffering from kolomaliatus 20

Plz senate stop all this audio help , all the payment of 2 month electric bill as ended with no result, now you are talking about job loss, didn’t you all know that plz don’t plan on paying cos all that is and was a scam

May kee?

This senator are just rubber stamp noting to deliver

Is minister of labour on leave?

Charity begins at home. Let's start by Cutting NASS Jumbo pay. This NASS Party has gone on for too long. AsoRockIsEmpty

Why not summon state governor's who locked down their states for no just course making many to lose their jobs. Why finance minister alone?

What do they want her to do, is it her fault. Which Kain people be this

Are they taking permission to summon her? The fact is that the President, his cabinet, legislature, governors and Nigerians generally have no clue on the wayforward. We are all relying on God🙏

The Senate appears to act in slow motion when it involves the masses. But if it involves a Bill to regulate free speech or a Bill to forcefully take away houses under the disguise of a pandemic they will rush within a day. What Bill has been passed to protect private workers?

Clowns

Finance or labour minister? What do I even know🚶🚶🚶

After wasting 500 billion naira on audio intervention fund.

I have lost mine already, I work part time in a school, i haven’t been paid for 2 months, the regular teachers got paid half salary.

😂😂😂😂Na she dey give employment....

The Nigerian Govt is the real 'Vibes Cartel' of the world, not that Prisoner in Jamaica.

When are you guys taking a pay cut?

I see a new Nigeria after covid19 is gone....

So that she can employ every body or what?

Using the word looms at this point means they don't even understand the thousands of jobs already lost, shameful

Imagine summoning the wrong minister. I love thid circus

Na wa for this Country.... Always Bad News from the Government everyday... Haa o ga ooo

No more lockdown unless d govt is ready to transfer ₦100k to every adult Nigerians account. 70% of Nigerian population which I belong to don't earn salary. And we are d one paying d salary of those lazy civil servants. During lockdown d civil servants get paid and we get nothing

They are only acting movie that ll be out in 2023 for us to watch, get prepared..

At least, COVID-19 has exposed all the irresponsible and incompetent leaders of Nigeria. NGRPresident and the states keep locking down the country but not wise enough to know the repercussions is job losses? All of you are stupid nassnigeria

She should also be grilled over COVID-19 palliatives to the vulnarables

Make una dey nail una sef....

What do they want her to do? Why are they not summoning the minister of labor too?

What do they want her to do?

The woman is confused. The Government is not different.
