FG Denies Approving 40% Peculiar Allowance For Civil Servants by ogododo(op): 7:37pm On May 14

The Federal Government has debunked claims circulating in the media regarding the approval of a 40 per cent peculiar allowance for federal civil servants.

DAILY POST recalls that on April 24, 2026, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, at a well-attended press briefing, announced that the Federal Government had approved a robust welfare package for civil servants and other entitlements.

The package included full Duty Tour Allowance for approved trainings in selected training institutions, an upward review of peculiar allowance across grade levels on the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS) and the Consolidated Research and Allied Institutions Salary Structure (CONRAISS), as well as an increase in estacode, book allowance and other entitlements.

However, the Director of Press and Public Relations, in the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Eno Olotu, said in a statement that no such pronouncement of a 40 per cent peculiar allowance for civil servants emanated from the office.

According to the statement, for the avoidance of doubt, the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation neither approved nor formally conveyed the approval of the allowance to the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC) or any labour union.

“The statutory responsibility for the issuance and communication of such circulars rests solely with the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC),” the statement noted.

It further added that the meeting convened by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, was strictly an interventionist and conciliatory engagement aimed at facilitating dialogue between organised labour under its jurisdiction and the NSIWC, to promote mutual understanding and avert any breakdown in labour relations within the federal civil service.

FG need to raise the salaries of civil servants again because the high inflation rate is currently doing damages to the little salary they are earning! At a time when the cost of everything has tripled in the country, civil servants must have their salaries increased so as to be able to afford decent living. In most places in the east for example, house rent is now ten times what it used to be! Transportation to work has also increased by ten fold, likewise cost of food items, healthcare and others.

Even artisans have had their wages increased tenfold to meet up with the current cost of living. Banks also have since increased the salaries of their staff. Yet civil servants have not had any significant increase in their salaries. NLC and TUC must call the FG to negotiation table again. Minimum wage needs to be reviewed upwards to at least ₦200,000 so that workers take home pay can come up a bit.
