President Bola Tinubu
The Federal Government has started the payments of the November 2023 wage award for federal civil servants.
This development was confirmed on Tuesday when some civil servants in Abuja had a chat with reporters.
A senior civil servant in one of the Federal Government-owned schools outside Abuja also confirmed the development saying,” Yes, the November 2023 wage award has been paid.”
The Nigeria Labour Congress had described the government’s action as dishonourable, while the Trade Union Congress also urged the government to pay civil servants the wage awards or risk industrial action.
Following an ultimatum given by the organised labour, the Minister of State for Labour, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, noted that the government would again resume the payment of the wage awards.
