The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria has clarified that the 25 per cent and 35 per cent increase in workers’ salary announced by the Federal Government is not minimum wage.
Okon, who is also the Vice President of the Trade Union Congress , said that the approval of the salary increase was to close the salary gap that existed in some Ministries, Departments and Agencies. “Some even saw it as if the government had ambushed the labour unions and then come out unilaterally to increase the minimum wage to that amount. Whereas, it is not the minimum wage.
Okon said the clarification was important for the generality of workers and the masses at large that the salary increase was to bridge wage gap in the civil service.
