Agency Report
The federal government has approved the revision of the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS), effective July 24.
The chairman of the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC), Ekpo Nta, said this during a press briefing on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mr Nta said President Bola Tinubu assented to the act after the bill was forwarded to him by the National Assembly.
He said any federal public service, whether self-funded or treasury-funded, that had yet to receive a circular to that effect, specifically from the NSIWC, should contact it for further directives.
Mr Nta added, “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 NSIWC would issue further directives on how pensioners, NYSC members and interns would benefit from the implementation.
The chairman listed other revised templates to include Consolidated Research and Allied Institutions Salary Structure (CONRAISS), Consolidated Universities Academic Salary Structure (CONUASS) and Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure II (CONTISS II).
He said others were The Consolidated Polytechnics and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONPCASS), Consolidated Tertiary Educational Institutions Salary Structure (CONTEDISS) and Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS).
Mr Nta named others, including Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), Consolidated Para-Military Salary Structure (CONPASS), and Consolidated Police Salary Structure (CONPOSS).
The rest were Consolidated Intelligence Community Salary Structure (CONICSS) and Consolidated Armed Forces Salary Structure (CONAFSS).
“This is consequent to the enactment of the NSIWC Amendment Act 2024 and the Memorandum of Understanding reached by the committee on consequential adjustments in salaries arising from the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act, 2024.
”The MoU was reached between the federal government of Nigeria and the trade union sides of the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council on Sept. 20,” Mr Nta said.
