Minimum wage: FG suspends request for salary reviews, adjustments

National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC) has
advised Ministries Department and Agencies (MDAs) to shelve every
request for salary review and adjustment.

The Commission said the call became necessary due to the issue
of the National Minimum Wage and the adjustments which are being
contemplated and therefore until that is settled, all requests for
salary reviews should be suspended.

The Chairman, National Salaries Incomes and Wages Commission
(NSIWC), High Chief Richard Onwuka Egbule, stated this when he
played host to a delegation from the National Environmental
Standard and Regulation Enforcement Agency, NESREA led by its
Director-General, Prof. Aliyu Jauro on a courtesy visit.

A statement from the Chief Press Secretary, Emma Njoku quoted
High Chief Egbule to have informed his guests that a Committee to
work out the consequential adjustment on salaries in the Public
Service as a result of the minimum wage has been inaugurated by the
Federal Government.

Earlier, the DG of NESREA, Prof Jauro complained that the IPPIS
had suddenly removed some allowances being enjoyed by the
agencies.

He explained that the Agency has written to the IPPIS for the
restoration of these allowances to no avail.
