The Federal Government has said it is facing enormous challenges and revenue deficit amid a growing population. The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Atiku Bagudu, lamented that the Federal Government was struggling to pay salaries because there is no money.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, Bagudu urged non-governmental organisations to help the government to cover the spaces it could not. He lamented that Nigeria's population is fast increasing, adding that unemployment is surging amid high inflation rate. According to the minister: “Government faces enormous challenges especially now; the government is facing a revenue deficit. There is no money anywhere in the country; the government is just managing to pay salaries.
The new pay will be effective from 1 September 2023 as contained in a memo from the Presidency and signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, CEO of National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, Ekpo U. O. Nta.
