The federal government on Friday said contrary to trending reports, it is not considering a salary increment for Nigerian workers.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Olajide Oshundun made the clarification in a statement made available to newsmen.


Naija News recalls there had been reports that the government has put plans in place to increase the salary of civil servants and public officials in the country.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige was said to have announced this on Tuesday while addressing State House correspondents.

However, the statement on Friday said the Minister was quoted out of context as only some “peculiar allowances” are being reviewed and not the salary of workers as widely reported.

He added that the salary of workers can’t be reviewed by the government without involving leaders of organized labour.

“It’s hoped that this rightful step which the Federal Government had embarked upon on compassionate grounds without any prodding or threat to strike will help to cushion the debilitating effects of spiraling inflation especially that which affects food and energy prices (Electricity and Petroleum product),” he said


The statement added, “The Presidential Committee on Salaries (PCS) through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) received recommendations for review of allowances of many Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Government.

“Because salary component is not being reviewed for now by the committee, it addressed the allowances component of the requests including the peculiar allowance for Federal Civil Servants amongst others.

“In Labour parlance as par payment for compensation for work done, REMUNERATION or EMOLUMENT is made up of salary component and earned allowance component.

“Therefore, the Federal Government through the PCS could not have engaged on the review of salaries without involving the workers through their unions, represented by these two Labour federation of workers in Nigeria – The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), salary review or renegotiation is part of social dialogue and the product is usually a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) usually agreed to by both parties – employers and employees.”

Is Nigeria not a cursed country....

watch some of them still queue up to vote APc

Party of dead old thieves..

APC, a cursed party which has thrown 130 millions Nigerians into poverty.

Na today their U-turn start?
It is only Peter Obi that can increase wotkers' salaries in the present day Nigeria. Nigerian workers know what to do on the 25th February if they want better pay.

So what allowances are those?
They should share them with us so we'll know who the beneficiaries are likely to be and in what currency they'll be paid. This will also help us understand the next naira crash
Funny thing, majority of those I know supporting this govt are civil servants!

Politicians in APC are good at fooling Nigerians

Ngige always playing the devil's advocate

Confusion.

It's bad to give people false hope you know, Ngigie.

Nothing to read... Same excuse.

Trillions, trillions and billions of budget. At the end of the day, it amounts to nothing in the life of an average Nigerian with the way inflation is now.

Buhari ProMax.

Mumu FG

Meanwhile the workers should have been talking of a salary cut. Only politicians are allowed a raise whenever they like. What a country!

Wahal

And they allocated 3billion for past head of states, deputies,army chief....etc.....if you could count, the number of people who will receive a share from that 3 billion naira is not up to 50.... quite sad ...and some foolish idiots in this platform still want APC to continue pilfering to the detriment of the already blugeoned and beleaguered masses ......

What I know is that buhari govt is different to Asiwaju govt.

The fake news the APC media team at Lagos Ibadan express way spreads ehh. Just to deceive the masses into voting for them Only God can cleanse this country.

APC have built strategies and structures of lies and blackmail to pin everyone on their knees.

We already know that anything good doesn't come from this so called apc government... even gbajamila scope ASUU ... hahahahahha .. they just dey play common man .. but what annoy me is that , some ordinary useless pple are still supporting them


If you are not a politician and you are supporting apc or pdp ... normally, e no support better you

, wicked country, wicked government, wicked APC

*Nigeria's economy is the largest in Africa,
*The 31st-largest in the world by nominal GDP,
*26th-largest by PPP.

Pay 5k to each Nigerian Citizens by birth every month... Una say NO

Salary increment for the government worker.... Una say NO

And someone will still cherish this people and even dedicate his or her time to follow and support them...
