New minimum wage for nigerian civil servants

As of 2022, the new minimum wage for Nigerian civil servants is N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira) per month. This was announced by the Federal Government of Nigeria in April 2020, following a long-standing demand by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and other labour unions.

The new minimum wage is applicable to all federal civil servants, including those in the federal ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), as well as those in the state and local governments.

Here is a breakdown of the new minimum wage structure:

• Grade Level 01-06: N30,000 per month
• Grade Level 07-08: N35,000 per month
• Grade Level 09-10: N40,000 per month
• Grade Level 11-12: N45,000 per month
• Grade Level 13-14: N50,000 per month
• Grade Level 15 and above: N60,000 per month

It's worth noting that the new minimum wage is subject to review and adjustment as necessary, and may be influenced by factors such as inflation, economic conditions, and other relevant considerations.

It's also important to note that the implementation of the new minimum wage is not without its challenges, and some states and local governments may not be able to implement the new wage structure immediately due to financial constraints. However, the Federal Government has committed to providing support to states and local governments to enable them to implement the new minimum wage.
