The Federal Government has approved a salary increase of 25-35% for civil servants on six consolidated salary structures, effective January 1, 2024.
The affected salary structures include the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS), Consolidated Research and Allied Institutions Salary Structure (CONRAISS), Consolidated Police Salary Structure (CONPOSS), Consolidated Para-military Salary Structure (CONPASS), Consolidated Intelligence Community Salary Structure (CONICCS) and Consolidated Armed Forces Salary Structure (CONAFSS).
This development comes after similar increases were implemented for the tertiary education and health sectors, which included Consolidated University Academic Salary Structure (CONUASS) and Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure (CONTISS)
for Universities.
According to a statement by Emmanuel Njoku, Head of Press, National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC), the increases aim to enhance the welfare of civil servants.
Additionally, the government has approved pension increases of 20-28% for pensioners on the Defined Benefits Scheme, effective January 1, 2024, in respect of the same six consolidated salary structures.
