FG revises consolidated salary structure for minimum wage implementation
The Federal Government has approved the revision of the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS) with effect from July 24.
The Chairman of the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC), Ekpo Nta, announced this during a press briefing in Abuja.
He said that President Bola Tinubu signed the Act after it was sent to him by the National Assembly.
Nta mentioned that any federal public service organization that hasn’t received an official notice from the NSIWC should contact them for guidance.
He emphasized the need for organized implementation to maintain fair salary comparisons in the federal public service.
Nta said, “This is to avoid an un-coordinated implementation which has the tendency to destroy the existing salary relativities in the federal public service.”
He said that NSIWC would issue further directives on how pensioners, NYSC members and interns would benefit from the implementation.
Nta listed other revised salary structures, including:
– Consolidated Research and Allied Institutions Salary Structure (CONRAISS)
– Consolidated Universities Academic Salary Structure (CONUASS)
– Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure II (CONTISS II)
– Consolidated Polytechnics and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONPCASS)
– Consolidated Tertiary Educational Institutions Salary Structure (CONTEDISS)
– Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS)
– Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS)
– Consolidated Para-Military Salary Structure (CONPASS)
– Consolidated Police Salary Structure (CONPOSS)
– Consolidated Intelligence Community Salary Structure (CONICSS)
– Consolidated Armed Forces Salary Structure (CONAFSS)
He said these changes are due to the NSIWC Amendment Act 2024 and an agreement made between the Federal Government and the Trade Union representatives regarding salary adjustments following the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act, 2024.
