The Federal Government has revealed that they are fully prepared to announce a new minimum wage for civil servants.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, spoke on behalf of President Tinubu in Abuja while flagging off a new presidential initiative for women’s empowerment at an event, which was felicitating the annual March 8 International Women’s Day (IWD).
Akume praises the efforts of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs and Social Development in promoting gender equality in the country, adding that Muslims and Christians should use this period and the coming Ramadan to pray for the country and president.
In his words:
“Ours is a complex federation, where the three tiers of government all have access to federation account and so we if we work together, we can do more for our people,” he said.
“Things will begin to change as more compressed natural gas (CNG) buses make their way to the country and as we prepare for a new minimum wage.”
