The letter, signed by Benjamin Anthony and Olowoyo Gbenga, stressed the “urgent necessity for an upward review of salaries and allowances” in the public service.

According to the council, the current wage structure no longer reflects economic realities, as rising inflation, food prices and transport costs continue to put pressure on workers.
