Organized Labor has commended the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HOS), Ms Winifred Oyo-Ita, for keying into the demand of unions for salary increase in the core civil service.

The commendation came on the heels of a statement credited to the HOS at a workshop on the 2017-2020 Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (FCSSIP), in Abuja.

The HOS recently said that the emoluments of 80,000 civil servants who were the engine room of government should be increased since, currently, they are the least paid in the public service.

The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), in a press statement jointly signed by the national president, Comrade Bobboi Bala Kaigama, and the secretary-general, Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal, recalled that, in 2015, the union presented a memorandum to the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC) and demanded for an upward salary review for core civil servants, since they are the least paid in the public service.

“Our demand was predicated on the fact that the current pay structure in operation in the civil service has become unrealistic and inadequate such that workers can no longer meet their basic needs, a scenario that is impacting negatively on their morale.

“Besides, out of more than 12 different salary structures in the public service, that of the core civil service is the lowest even though the bulk of government work is carried out by civil servants,” the union said.

The ASCSN expressed the hope that the statement of the HOS would galvanised the government to do the needful by beefing up the salaries of civil servants to be at par with that of other segments of the public service.

“There must be equal pay for job of equal value more so because the employees concerned have similar or the same qualifications,” the union emphasised.

According to the ASCSN, the last salary adjustment in the civil service was done in 2010 and, since then, no salary increase has been granted to civil servants even though the cost of living has continued to rise because of spiral inflation.

It urged government to see the wake-up call of the HOS as an opportunity to right the wrong done to civil servants in the past decades by paying them remunerations that are obtainable in other segments of the public service.

The union urged government to enter into negotiation with trade unions in the civil service immediately in respect of their demand for salary increase.

Ok

Employment should be given to every Nigerians. Government should seize the initiative to offer job opportunity to every Nigerians, not merely increasing the salary of civil servant. Let the people who are not opportune be opportune.

the labour union is a very senseless organisations...they hardly fight wrongful dismissal from work,they NEVER check on the lowest class employees who form majority of workers..go around Nigeria,u wld realise that the real minimum wage is 8k per months for fast food workers,receptionist,sales gals etc.does it mean these one are not also employees..NLC is ONLY interested in fight that concerns government..thats where they mk mony and name from to contest elections

We will get NOWHERE by any useless salary increase.
What we need is salary/allowances/total emoluments REDUCTION for all political office holders- president, governors, lawmakers, LGA Chairman and councillors plus their loafing Aides.

IT WILL BE BETTER IF NASS AND SENATORS CAN ALSO BE PLACED ON MINIMUM WAGES BASED ON THEIR LEVEL

IMAGINE SENATORS COLLECTING 350,000 MONTHLY, ALL THIS USELESS MOFOS WILL RUN AWAY FROM POLITICS.

from 18k minimum wage to how much ?

they are not talking about minimum wage. All federal civil servants don't earn the same salary. The people doing the major work are the least paid so they are suggesting a harmonisation with others

Has there been an increase,or it’s just a congratulation for a job undone?

Why only NASS?
Are senators not part of NASS?
Also you should consider not to type in CAPITAL letters, which gives the impression that you are screaming.

Are u kidding. Entry level pay in civil service is 50k!

We need actions not talk...

Whet kind of salary increase are these people talking about?Do they know that once the govt increases their salaries then automatically the pump price of fuel most especially petrol will be increased too which nullifies the supposed gain that should come with increase in salary and this further improverish the populace...I guess these people commending the HOS re not Nigerians or in Nigeria because if they were they would ve known the modus operandi of our govt....

can dey do it.. seeing his believing...
