Plans In Place To Increase Salary In Nigeria’s Civil Service

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, on Wednesday announced that plans are underway to ensure that the nation’s civil service was efficient, productive, incorruptible and citizen-centred.

She made this known at a sensitisation workshop on the 2017-2020 Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan organised for civil servants in the directorate level in Abuja.

Oyo-Ita said the strategy, which has been approved by the Federal Executive Council, had eight priority areas selected based on their potential for impact in the short-term and their relevance to the ERGP implementation roles.

She identified salary review as the first step towards enhancing civil servants’ values.

“We need to launch a salary review of the civil service as a first step to enhance the value proposition of civil servants.

“I am for salary review. We must increase salary. I am not saying this as a union leader but because I am aware of what workers go through,” she said.

She said the plan would also seek to re-design three core-training modules, including Leadership Enhancement and Development Programme as a top talent programme and identify a ‘LEAD-P Presidential Cohort’ to cultivate as next generation of leaders in service.

“The future of the Nigerian civil service is in our hands. It is therefore imperative for us to work collectively towards making the service function better in order to guarantee a sustainable socio-economic development of Nigeria,” she said.
