Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation, and Fiscal Commission has recommended an upward review in the basic salaries of political and judicial office holders.
But commenting on the NAN report, the RMAFC Public Relations Officer, Christian Nwachukwu, in an interview with one of correspondent, said the rate of the salary increase had not been fixed.He stated, “There is no authentic information on that because it has to be forwarded, although we have done some things on it. There is no percentage we can say now. I am not aware of that.”
Commenting on the salary review, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Wednesday noted it would provoke Nigerians. The National President of the union, Dr Anderson Ezeibe, in an interview with our correspondent in Abuja, said, “ The report is provocative and insensitive. It is difficult to see the rationale behind such a move by the government in a country where the working class has been groaning under severe economic pains.
“It is an affront to Labour as the Labour movement is still trying to come to terms with the reality of the economic situation in the country and negotiating some palliatives from the same government. It is disappointing.”
