Meanwhile the Senate on Wednesday congratulated Nigerian workers on the occasion of the Workers Day, which takes place on Thursday.
According to Mark, the senators appreciated Nigerian workers for doing their best in a very difficult environment.
He said the legislature has a major responsibility to create a conducive environment for the workers through the laws they make and the motion they move.
The Senate subsequently dissolved into the Committee of the Whole to consider the report of the Joint Committee on FCT and Finance on the Federal Capital Internal Revenue Board Bill 2013.
