The federal government has approved an increase of between 25 percent and 35 percent salary increase for civil servants on the six consolidated salary structures.
NAN reports that the salary increase, announced on the eve of the Workers’ Day celebration, is contained in a statement issued by Emmanuel Njoku, head of press, at the national salaries, incomes and wages commission (NSIWC).
The statement said the increase takes effect from January 1, 2024.
The six consolidated salary structures are consolidated public service salary structure (CONPSS); consolidated research and allied institutions salary structure (CONRAISS); consolidated police salary structure (CONPOSS); consolidated para-military salary structure (CONPASS); consolidated intelligence community salary structure (CONICCS); and consolidated armed forces salary structure (CONAFSS).

Health workers, academic and
non-academic staff working in federal tertiary institutions are not included in

consolidated health salary structure (CONHESS) and consolidated medical salary
structure (CONMESS).
In September 2023, the federal
government also announced a percentage increase in salaries for academic and
