This was after the committee on consequential salary adjustments set up by the Tinubu administration, arising from the new Minimum Wage Act 2024, concluded its assignment.
Speaking after signing the MOU, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Mrs Didi Esther Walson-Jack, who is also the Chairman of the Committee, commended members for the painstaking effort they put in the assignment.
“Both the Trade Union and the Government sides have agreed on the Consequential Adjustments in Salaries arising from the new minimum wage of N70,000,” she said.
The HCSF also disclosed that all the members considered the MOU and have all signed copies, concluding the exercise with handing over copies to representatives on both sides.
