Federal civil service commission new minimum wage implementation

The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) in Nigeria has implemented a new minimum wage for federal civil servants, effective from April 2020. The new minimum wage is N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira) per month, which is an increase from the previous minimum wage of N18,000 (Eighteen Thousand Naira) per month.

The implementation of the new minimum wage is part of the Federal Government's efforts to improve the welfare of federal civil servants and address the issue of poverty and income inequality in the country. The new minimum wage is expected to benefit over 500,000 federal civil servants across the country.

The FCSC has also introduced a new salary structure for federal civil servants, which is designed to ensure that employees are paid a fair and competitive salary based on their level of experience, qualifications, and job responsibilities. The new salary structure is expected to improve the morale and productivity of federal civil servants, and to attract and retain the best talent in the public service.

Some of the key features of the new minimum wage and salary structure include:

  1. A new minimum wage of N30,000 per month for federal civil servants.
  2. A new salary structure that is designed to ensure that employees are paid a fair and competitive salary based on their level of experience, qualifications, and job responsibilities.
  3. A 50% increase in the salary of federal civil servants in the lowest grade level (GL 01-06) to N30,000 per month.
  4. A 30% increase in the salary of federal civil servants in the middle grade level (GL 07-12) to N50,000 per month.
  5. A 20% increase in the salary of federal civil servants in the highest grade level (GL 13-17) to N100,000 per month.
