All cadre of workers in the Federal Civil Service will benefit from the N25,000 wage increment President Bola Tinubu announced in his Independence Day broadcast.
In his speech, Tinubu had said the increment for low-grade federal workers as intervention to cushion the effect of subsidy removal.
But at a meeting between the Federal Government and Labour Unions in Aso Rock on Sunday evening, an agreement was reached that all workers should benefit from the increment.
Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President, who chaired the meeting, announced this at the end of the dialogue.
The Federal Government had invited Labour Unions to the meeting as a measure to prevent nationwide strike.
