President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the
immediate implementation of the National
Minimum of Wage of N30,000 monthly to all
federal civil servants earning less than
N30,000 monthly. The Executive Chairman,
National Salaries, Incomes and Wages
Commission, (NSIWC), Dr. Richard Onwuka
Egbule, disclosed this at a press briefing in
Abuja on Monday.
He said based on the approval from the
president, the implementation takes effect
from the 18h April, 2019.
Dr. Egbule explained that the civil servants
affected are only those who earn less than
N30,000 monthly adding that with the
implementation of the minimum wage, no FG
staff will earn less than N30,000 per month.
According to him, the salaries structures
affected include; the consolidated public
service salary structure (CONPSS);
consolidated health salary structure
(CONHESS); consolidated research and allied
institutions salary structure (CONRAISS);
consolidated tertiary institutions salary
structure (CONTISS II) and consolidated
tertiary educational institutions salary structure
(CONTEDNESS).
Dr. Egbule however noted that “the
negotiations between the Federal Government
of Nigeria and the Joint National Public
Service Negotiating Council on the
consequential adjustments arising from the
new national minimum wage for officers who
earned salaries above N30,000 per month
before 18th April, 2019 in the federal civil
service will continue.”
He assured that the “outcome of such
negotiations will be implemented with the
effect from the date an agreement is
reached.” He also said all arrears arising from
the implementation of the N30,000 minimum
wage will be worked out by all concerned
agencies in partnership with the Office of the
Accountant General of the Federation. He also
said those who earn N30,000 and above now
will still get their salaries adjusted after the
negotiations with the unions.
“The law says you cannot pay anyone less
than N30,000. So to comply with law, all
those earning less than N30,000 as at 18th
April 2019 must have their salaries adjusted”
he said. He also said money for the
implementation has been captured in the 2019
budget thus implementation will be seamless.
