Civil Servants Demands For New Minimum Wage

Civil Servants Demands For New Minimum Wage

Civil servants across Nigeria are calling for a new minimum wage of N154,000 and a 120 percent increase in allowances as economic hardship deepens.

The demand comes amid rising living costs that have put pressure on workers nationwide.

Labour representatives say the current wage structure no longer meets basic needs, with inflation and fuel costs eroding earnings.

They are urging the government to review salaries urgently to reflect present realities and ease the burden on workers.

The proposal also includes a full adjustment of allowances, which workers argue have remained stagnant despite worsening conditions.

They insist that improving welfare is key to maintaining morale and productivity in the public service.

Negotiations are expected to continue between labour unions and government officials, with hopes of reaching an agreement that addresses the concerns while balancing the country’s financial situation.
