Under the new arrangement, which becomes effective from September 1, officers above the rank of colonel will enjoy a 30 per cent salary increase. This applies to Brigadier-Generals, Major-Generals, Lieutenant Generals and Generals.
Personnel from colonel down to warrant officer will have a 50 per cent increase, while Private to Staff Sergeant will have an 80 per cent increase.

ReplyDeleteWell done Mr President 🙏🏿
ReplyDeleteHopefully, NKC starts their own annual review of the minimum wage as agreed by the federal government cis it's almost the end of the year and nothing has happened yet. Even the allowance review that was signed is scheduled for October! Don't know how this government expects civil servants to thrive.
