Abuja – The Federal Government has approved the upward review of the consolidated public service salary structure, CONPSS, following the enactment of the Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
Chairman of the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, NSIWC, Ekpo Nta, made this announcement at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday.
Nta explained that the review was carried out after the signing of the Minimum Wage Amendment Act and a memorandum of understanding with labor leaders.

The revised salary structure will benefit various worker groups, including:
– Consolidated Research and Allied Institutions Salary Structure (CONRAISS)
– Consolidated Universities Academic Salary Structure (CONUASS)
– Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure II (CONTISS II)
– Consolidated Polytechnics and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONPCASS)

Recall that President Bola Tinubu signed the Minimum Wage Amendment Act into law on July 29, increasing the national minimum wage from N30,000 to N70,000.
The committee on consequential adjustments in salaries for civil servants announced on September 20 that the agreement will take effect from July 29, 2024.
This development marks a significant step towards implementing the new minimum wage and improving the remuneration of Nigerian workers.
