“Today (Saturday), I received my personal arrears. A few of our other coworkers have also attested to receiving the arrears. It arrived along with our April paychecks, the employee claimed.
Yes, it is genuine, a civil servant based in Ibadan who confirmed the development said. Despite the fact that I work as a teacher in a Federal Government institution, I can attest to the fact that I received both my April salary and the arrears.
Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s (ret.) administration had suggested a 40% wage increase for employees as a way to mitigate the effects of the scheduled elimination of the fuel subsidy.Olajide Oshundun, a spokesman for the Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Productivity, stated that all employees from level 1 to level 17 will be eligible for the wage increase.
NARD response, The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors has fought against the Federal Government’s decision to exclude doctors from the salary increase for public officials.Dr. Emeka Orji, President of NARD, said, “Our members are not happy with that development, because since more than a year ago, the Federal Government has started the processes of increment in the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure, both for doctors and other health workers, but those processes have not yet been completed.
We are pleased that they boosted civil servant salaries, but the one drawback is that they haven’t yet increased our pay. These are a few of the things upsetting people.
I’m confident that this will be a topic of debate and choices will be made during our national emergency council meeting on Friday, April 28, 2023.
If immediate action about a salary increase for its members was not made, according to Orji, the group might be forced to take a more serious measure.
