Salary review won’t make sense without controlling inflation, NLC tells Nigeria govt

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has outlined significant conditions for the Muhammadu Buhari-led adminstration over the proposed review of salaries for civil servants.

The Congress noted that no amount of increase in naira terms would be good enough if government did control the rising inflation and high cost of goods in the country.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, had on Tuesday communicated the intention of the Federal Government to jack up the salaries of workers.
