The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has said Federal Government of Nigeria will no longer review workers’ salaries as earlier discussed.

The acting Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Folashade Yemi-Esan, had said through the Director of Communications in her office, Mrs Olawunmi Ogunmosunle, that the FG would ensure that all states complied with the 30,000 minimum wage adjustment which took effect in 2019 first before the general wage review would take place.

In an interview with pressmen in Abuja on Tuesday, Ngige said wage review had been suspended.

He said, “There was a presidential committee on wages and I said the issue of review of wages or any other thing is put on hold until we finish with the minimum wage and after that we will go to the consequential adjustment.”

Asked if the FG would still do the review this year, the minister of Labour and Employment said, “We are not doing any wage review now. Let us settle the issue of minimum wage and make sure that everybody pays.”
