Nigerian Workers Salary Scale Latest News

The organised labour has appealed to state Houses of Assembly to identify with workers by compelling governors to pay the new minimum wage.

The federal government has announced it is stopping the salaries of lecturers, mainly members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, because the organization rejected the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has directed the minister of finance, Zainab Ahmed, to effect the payment of the new minimum wage on or before Tuesday, December, 31.

Some states have embraced the new deal struck by the federal government. They, however, said they will wait to get the details of the deal before making their final decision.

The minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige, said the federal government has set up a presidential committee on salaries to review the wages of all political office holders in the country.

The governor said his administration will kick-start the process immediately the federal government and organised labour finalise negotiations.
