All parties must engage in an honest and transparent dialogue rather than resorting to the spread of inaccuracies for political leverage. Contrary to the insinuations of the Labour Leadership through its social media platforms, the Legislature is on the side of Nigerians and will continue to act in the best interest of our constituents \u2013 giving meaning to their mandate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 10th House of Representatives is committed to strengthening relevant legislation to ensure that essential services remain operational during future industrial actions, thereby protecting the lives and well-being of all Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge the Leadership of Organised Labour to return to the negotiation table and engage other stakeholders, in good faith, to achieve a balanced and sustainable outcome. The People\u2019s House remains steadfast in our commitment to the well-being of the Nigerian worker and the overall development of our country.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House of Representatives has described the narrative about the remuneration of members of the National Assembly by Labour as false and misleading.
