No More N70k, Nigerian Workers Demand New Minimum Wage

News Update

THE National Public Service Negotiating Council, NPSNC, has demanded a N154,000 minimum wage, which is 120% upward review, of salaries and allowances for public workers in Nigeria to mitigate what it describes as the “life of servitude” currently being experienced in the country.

The demand was contained in a letter addressed to the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, dated March 12, 2026, titled urgent need for the upward review of salaries and allowances for workers in Nigerian public service and commendation for the approval of gratuity payment to retiring workers.

The letter said despite their immense contributions, Public Service workers continue to face severe economic hardship due to the rising cost of living and the declining purchasing power of their earnings.

The workers group noted that over the years, Nigeria has experienced unprecedented economic pressures characterised by high inflation, increased fuel prices, rising transportation costs, and escalating prices of food items, housing, healthcare, and education.

The letter was jointly signed by the National Chairman, Benjamin Anthony, and the National Secretary, Olowoyo Gbenga.

The group premised its demand on the outcome of an exhaustive meeting of the JNPSNC held on Monday, March 9, 2026.
