The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has rejected President Bola Tinubu's proposed federal government pay increase of 25 to 35 percent for civil servants across various consolidated salary structures.
According to NLC Assistant General Secretary Chris Onyeka, the announcement was "a waste of time," and the National Salaries, Incomes, and Wages Commission (NSIWC) does not have the authority to fix the national minimum wage. "What they pretend to have done is a waste of time.
It does not amount to anything for us and those in the federal civil service," Onyeka stated.
The Head of Press of NSIWC, Emmanuel Njoku, told Daily Trust that the increment was distinct from the multi-stakeholder committee led by Senator George Akume, the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).
