The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has

revealed that the Federal Government has approved a pay

raise for civil servants in the country.

Ngige said the salary increment became important in view of

the current economic reality of the country, adding that

President Muhammadu Buhari, is yet to approve the

percentage used for the increment.

This is as he noted that the pay rise was already included in

the 2023 budget and would take effect from January 1, 2023.
