The Federal Government has declared that Lecturers, doctors, and other civil servants under the Consolidated University Academic Salary Structure, Consolidated Medical Salary Scale, popularly known as CONMESS, CONHESS, and CONTISS will all benefit from its salary increase.
The civil servants will also be paid arrears from the pay increase of January 2023.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Labour, Employment, and Productivity, Chris Ngige, while speaking at the commemoration of the 2023 International Workers’ Day celebration at Eagle Square, Abuja.
This comes after the FG had earlier confirmed a 40% salary increase for civil servants under the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS) only leaving out those under the other salary structures.
The approval for the pay increase was conveyed by the head of the National Salaries Income and Wages Commission, Ekpo Nta, in a memo addressed to the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed.
Candidreporters.com gathered that the memo stated that only the 144,766 staff members of the federal civil service under the CONPSS salary structure will be paid the allowance, which will take effect from January 1, 2023.
